In this report, we describe the case of an 83-year-old patient with severe systolic heart failure complicated by aortic valve stenosis and atrial fibrillation. A simple therapeutic approach involving discontinuation of beta-blockers remarkably alleviated the symptoms such as left ventricular ejection fraction, and improved the chest radiography and laboratory findings; further, atrial fibrillation converted to sinus rhythm. It is important to carefully administer beta-blocker therapy to elderly patients with heart failure, especially after considering cardiac output.Keywords: elderly, octogenarians, beta-blockers, heart failureSatoshi YanagisawaNoriyuki SuzukiToshikazu TanakaDove Medical Pressarticleelderlyoctogenariansbeta-blockersheart failure.GeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 5, Pp 365-368 (2010)
