The dose of Carvedilol is titrated according to systolic arterial blood pressure (ABPsys) and heart rate (HR). Doses are increased every 7 days until ABPsys is not less than 95 mm Hg and HR is not less than 55 bpm. Carvedilol is started at a dose of 6.25 mg/d, and titrated to a maximum dose of 12.5 mg/d.
