Popis: SummaryBackground The influence of beta-blocker therapy (bisoprolol or carvedilol) (bB) on the prognosis of heart failure (HF) patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is uncertain. Aims To assess the effect of bB on the prognosis of HF patients with new-onset DM treated with a contemporary medical regime. Methods Prospective study of 5314 HF patients with previously unknown DM. Mean age was 71.8 ± 7.9 years, 53.0% were women, and 50.2% had HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). During a median follow-up of 56.9 ± 18.2 months, 68.9% of the patients died, 88.6% were hospitalised for HF, and 1519 (27.3%) developed DM (62.3% of them received bB, 947 patients). We propensity-matched 572 HF patients with DM on bB, with 572 HF patients with DM non-treated with bB. Results Beta-blocker therapy was associated with a decreased hazard risk (HR) of all-cause death [HR: 0.68, CI 95% (0.61–0.75)], mainly because of a reduced risk of death from cardiovascular causes [HR: 0.70 (0.64–0.77)] (p
