Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The principal research objectives are to demonstrate cardioselective beta-blockade using bisoprolol is not inferior to placebo with regard to pulmonary function and improves quality of life in patients with heart failure and coexistent moderate or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with or without significant reversibility. Patients will be followed up for 4 months during which bisoprolol will be up-titrated to the maximum clinically tolerated dose. Health status will be assessed using a generic and two disease specific questionnaires, and pulmonary function by spirometry, body box plethysmography, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
