Abstract
Beta blockers are underused and underprescribed in patients with chronic heart failure. This may be due to poor patient knowledge about their condition, pharmacological treatment and self-care management in case of deterioration. Nurse specialist has a decisive role in implementation of evidence based management which can have effects beyond patient care.
