Most Popular Devices What is the most popular TV size in the USA The most popular TV size in the USA is currently around 65 inches, with recent trends showing it overtaking the previously dominant 55-inch size. Data from 2021 indicates the average LCD TV screen size in North America reached approximately 55.5 inches, with expectations of further increases as larger TVs become more affordable and accessible. Consumer purchasing trends and retailer insights suggest 65-inch TVs are now the most commonly bought due to their balance of immersive viewing and suitability for typical living room spaces, with viewing distances of around 5.4 to 8.1 feet for 4K resolution. What is the most popular TV brand in the USA Samsung is the most popular TV brand in the USA, holding a market share of around 28-30% based on 2020-2023 data. It has been the top-selling brand for 18 consecutive years, with 30.1% of the market in 2023, driven by brand recognition, diverse price points, and dominance in both standard and premium TV segments, including a 22% share in OLED TVs. LG follows closely, with the two Korean brands combining for about 52% of the market. Vizio, TCL, and Sony also rank highly, with Sony noted for strong consumer trust and picture quality. What is the most popular home cinema projector in the USA The most popular home cinema projector in the USA in 2025, based on expert reviews and consumer interest, is the Epson Home Cinema 3800. It's widely praised for its excellent balance of image quality, brightness, and value, making it a top choice for home theater enthusiasts. With strong contrast, vibrant colors, and the ability to project a sharp 4K image, it performs well in both dark and moderately lit rooms. Its affordability compared to high-end models like the Epson Home Cinema 5050UB, combined with features like two HDMI ports and easy setup, contributes to its popularity. What is the most popular AVR The most popular AV receiver brand in the USA is Denon, with models like the Denon AVR-X3800H and Denon AVR-X4800H frequently cited as top performers in 2024-2025 reviews. Denon's popularity stems from its optimal price-to-quality ratio, reliable performance, and advanced features like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and 8K HDMI support. Market data is scarce, but Denon's dominance is evident in consumer reviews, sales rankings on sites like Best Buy, and industry reports, with Marantz (its sister brand) and Yamaha as close competitors. Denon's models are praised for versatility, supporting setups with more than three speakers (e.g., 9.4 or 7.2.2 configurations), aligning with the 10-15% of households estimated to have such systems. What is the most popular voice assistant product in the USA Amazon's Alexa is the most popular voice assistant product in the USA, primarily due to its widespread integration into Amazon Echo devices and its compatibility with over 60,000 smart home devices. In 2025, Alexa has an estimated 77.6 million users in the US, trailing Google Assistant (92.4 million) and Apple's Siri (87.0 million) in total users but leading in smart home ecosystem adoption and versatility. Its popularity is driven by features like hands-free control, extensive third-party app integration, and the ability to perform tasks such as controlling smart home devices, streaming music, and shopping online. The Amazon Echo (4th Gen) is particularly noted for its sound quality and built-in Zigbee radio, enhancing its smart home capabilities. What is the most popular video doorbell in the USA While exact sales data is unavailable, the Ring Battery Doorbell and Ring Video Doorbell (2nd generation) are likely the most popular video doorbells in the USA in 2025. What is the most popular smart switch in the USA The Lutron Caséta is the most popular for its balance of advanced features, no-neutral-wire flexibility, and rock-solid performance across smart home platforms. Its hub requirement adds cost (around $60-$100 per switch plus $80-$100 for the hub), but users value its dependability and customization options. If you're on a budget or prefer Wi-Fi-based switches, the TP-Link Kasa models are nearly as popular due to their lower price (around $20-$40) and hub-free setup. What is the most popular smart plug in the USA TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Slim (EP25) frequently comes up as a top contender for indoor use due to its affordability, feature set, and wide compatibility.
It's always a treat when good Alfacast friend, Dr. Andrew Kaufman stops in for a visit. "Andy" and the Alfacast crew first crossed paths just prior to the medical false flag of 2020, as we shared a common perspective. albeit 'unorthodox' by accepted standards, that medicine should be more engaged in treating the 'Bioterrain' rather than making war on alleged pathogens within the context of disease. Those tumultuous times left their scars on the more vulnerable amongst us, but many escaped unscathed with eyes wide open. Many now question not only medicine, but the legal, governmental and financial systems in their conventional forms. Andrew brings a deep understanding of the mechanisms shared by these seemingly diverse institutions, as well as the larger nexus behind their creation. Dr. Andy Kaufman is a self-proclaimed “recovering physician” who boldly transitioned from a prestigious career in mainstream medicine to become a prominent voice challenging conventional medical paradigms. Initially trained in the allopathic approach, Dr. Andy embarked on a transformative journey that led him to question conventional medical principles. Fueled by an insatiable curiosity for deeper truths, he has since become a dynamic educator and speaker, sharing his insights into medicine, the nature of viruses and the power of natural healing. Additionally he delves into the interconnected realms of economics, law, education and science, offering a wholistic perspective that challenges the status quo and inspires others to think critically about the world around them. With a Bachelor of Science in Biology from MIT, an MD from the University of South Carolina, and a psychiatric residency at Duke University, Dr. Andy has held academic leadership roles, contributed to research, and patented a medical device. Now, he dedicates himself to researching and delivering trustworthy products and protocols, empowering health-seekers to achieve optimal wellness. Follow Dr. Andy Kaufman on Medicamentum Authentica (YouTube, Instagram, Rumble) to gain knowledge and take charge of your health journey.

Det är med stor sorg vi har nåtts av nyheten att Clark Olofsson lämnat oss. Med anledning av detta väljer vi att återigen sända avsnittet då Framgångspodden gästades av Clark, den 9:e juli 2023.Av många beskriven som ”Sveriges första popgangster”, blev han känd som en av männen bakom det världskända Norrmalmstorgsdramat, bankrånet som ledde till uttrycket Stockholmssyndrom. Netflix valde att göra en tv-serie om hans liv, och inte är det konstigt - han tillbringade mer än hälften av sitt liv på anstalt, rymde inte mindre än 17 gånger och levde stor del av sitt liv på flykt.Vi får höra om hans barndom där han tidigt beslöt att ”ingen bestämmer över mig”, om vägen in på den kriminella banan. Vi får också höra varför Clark själv aldrig velat kalla sig kriminell och vi går självklart in på vad som egentligen hände där inne, i Kreditbanken på Norrmalmstorg. Ett avsnitt utöver det vanliga.

Gotický triler z pera autora bestsellerov Rileyho Sagera, inšpirovaný skutočnými udalosťami. Píše sa rok 1983 a opatrovateľku Kit suspendovali. Musela sa vrátiť do svojej detskej izby do domu k otcovi, kde spolu žijú ako dvaja cudzinci. Preto keď Kit príde ponuka na novú klientku, mala by byť nadšená. Avšak táto klientka nie je len taká obyčajná starenka...je to LENORA V roku 1929 celé pobrežie Mainu šokovala správa o krvavej viacnásobnej vražde v honosnom sídle útese zvanom Hope‘s End. V očiach ľudí je jediná vinníčka – Lenora Hopeová, dcéra a sestra zavraždených, ktorá však vinu poprela. Polícia ju nikdy z ničoho neusvedčila a Lenora po zbytok života nevyšla za brány tajomného Hope´s End. Len sedemnásťročná Lenora, obesila si sestru, potvora! Kit prichádza na útes aby sa postarala o starnúcu a na vozík pripútanú Lenoru po niekoľkých mŕtviciac, ktorá pohybuje iba dvoma prstami na ruke. Komunikácia sa spočiatku zdá nemožná, až kým Kit neobjaví starý písací stroj... a jednej noci Lenora navrhne Kit niečo, čo sa neodmieta – prísľub, že jej rozpovie celú pravdu… Otca nožom dobodala a aj matke život vzala! Kit postupne zisťuje, že za príbehom tej osudnej noci sa skrýva oveľa viac, než sa pôvodne zdalo. Strašidelný dom na útese postupne odhaľuje svoje tajomstvá a súčastne z jeho útrob ako príšery vyliezajú nové záhady a príbehy. Čo sa naozaj rodine Hopeovcov stalo? Kam zmizla predchádzajúca opatrovateľka, ktorá mala uprostred noci tak naponáhlo, že si nezobrala ani len svoje veci? Kit nadobúda pocit, že napriek všetkému jej Lenora nehovorí celú pravdu a táto zdanlivo neškodná žena v jej opatere môže byť oveľa nebezpečnejšia, ako si myslela... Hovorila, že je nevinná, no PREŽILA LEN ONA, JEDINÁ! _„Ako to často býva pri Sagerových románoch, snažiť sa predvídať, kam vás početné zvraty zavedú, je zábavné (a zároveň frustrujúce), no niektoré z najzaujímavejších častí príbehu spočívajú v ľuďoch, ktorých na tejto ceste stretnete. Záhada je pre nás rovnako lákavá ako pre Kit, no Prežila len jediná je zároveň prieskumom rodiny, lásky a osamelosti. Dokonca sa zamýšľa aj nad posadnutosťou skutočnými zločinmi a tým, kedy príbehy začnú prekrývať realitu.“ – USA Today „Sager ponúka svoj obvyklý rad dych vyrážajúcich zvratov... Fanúšikovia Daphne du Maurier si tento špičkový triler určite vychutnajú.“ – Publishers Weekly „Sager je majstrom zvratov.“ – Rolling Stone „Klaustrofobický a strašidelný — Sager v najlepšej forme.“ — Booklist Audiokniha: Prežila len jediná Autor: Riley Sager Interpret: Alexandra Lukáčová Dĺžka: 13:58 h Vydavateľstvo: Publixing a DOT.

In this post-InfoComm 2025 conversation, Ryan catches up with Steve Bogart from Atlona, who shares what the company rolled out during the show season — even though he missed the booth due to an unfortunate fishing accident. Steve walks us through Atlona's new USB/HDMI transmitter switcher, a flexible SDVoE matrix, and an upgraded room scheduling gateway. The discussion touches on open architecture, real-world integration for higher ed AV, and why Atlona is leaning into local events and feedback-driven development. It's a grounded, practical look at AV evolution from a partner who's still showing up — just on crutches.

The readings in Samuel follow the journey of the ark whilst it is in Philistine possession until its return to the covenant people at the "forest of the woods" (Kirjath-jearim see Psalm 132). Firstly in Ashdod Yahweh's supremacy is shown over Dagon the fish god, by its symbolic prostration before Israel's God and finally it being shattered. Following this the inhabitants were plagued with tumours, called emerods, or haemorrhoids in the AV; these tumours seemingly being occasioned by a mice plague. Despairingly the ark is relocated to each of the five chief cities and the plagues of mice and tumours following the pattern. The Philistines were terrified that Israel's God would destroy them and so they devised a scheme to make a trespass offering of gold fashioned after their plagues and to send the ark home. They took two cows, which were still feeding their calves, and contrary to the natural expectation wend their way to the house of Joshua in Beth-shemesh. Here curiosity overtook the foolish inhabitants who decided, contrary to God's laws, to gaze inside the ark and consequently 70 men died. Like the Philistines the ark was relocated to Kirjath-jearim where it remained for about 90 years before eventually being brought triumphantly by David to its resting place in Jerusalem. The prophet counsels the nation to reconsider its roots- Abraham and Sarah who responded to God in faith and proceeded to live uprightly before Him resulting in immense blessings. Yahweh their Rock stabilised Zion's foundations and those who likewise follow the path of the righteous will see Eden bloom on earth again in Messiah's kingdom; which will extend to the ends of the earth. Verses 4-6 tell of their Sovereign's appeal for Israel to await the revealing of His righteousness. Verses 7-8 describe the LORD's call to His people that His Law may find a home in their hearts, just as the tables of the Law were rightly within the ark of the Covenant. But for those who lived as though God's Word was but stone tablets they would perish with all those who saw the Law as an inflexible and rigid code which they used to judge others: Hebrews 1 verse 9-13. Verses 9-11 speak of the redeemed rousing themselves to embrace the principles of Zion, the mother of all who are faithful. The Almighty Creator appeals to His children in verses 12-16 to acknowledge His omnipotence. Verses 17-20 asks His children to stir themselves up and arouse themselves from their despondent and downcast state. The nation must forget their past persecutions and embrace Yahweh their faithful husband. God will console His people and bring vengeance upon their foes. Verses 21-23 outline that the cup of affliction will pass from Zion to her adversaries. Let us lift our heads knowing that the redeemed will come to Zion with 'songs of everlasting joy'. And One who will bring this to pass cannot fail, for just as He created the foundations of the universe, so He establishes the foundation of each and every faithful believer. Some religious leaders use this 12th chapter of the Apocalypse to assert that there was war in heaven between the angels of God and Satan, which resulted in the expulsion of Satan and his angels to a subterranean location beneath the earth. The chapter proves no such thing. 1) from Revelation 1:1 the events were from John's time forward; 2) most of the symbolism has been used and explained earlier in the book; 3) if a supposed supernatural being deceived the Omniscient Creator (then God cannot be Omniscient); 4) the segment in question makes it abundantly clear that the vision is symbolic - verses 1, 3 use the term "sign" ESV ("wonder" KJV) and the Greek word used means precisely "a representation".; 5) literal war couldn't occur in a place about which Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy will be done on earth, as in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). The heavily pregnant woman was the church about to give birth to its champion, Constantine. The dragon was the old pagan Roman power who was engaged in a life and death struggle with the emerging Trinitarian faction within the Christian power. But the Christians triumphed - Constantine claimed to have seen a vision of a cross and to have heard the words, "in this sign you will conquer". His entire army marched against the pagans with freshly painted crosses on their shields. As we saw in chapter 11 the dominant faction within the christians were trinitarian and sought the destruction of all dissenters. Those protesting the error of the trinitarian Catholic Church - a n early sign of what would arise during the Reformation - fled to the extremities of the Empire seeking respite. However, the defeated forces of the pagan Roman generals made a concerted and valiant attempt to overthrow the believers in Christ. But in this endeavour the pagans failed. Ironically the nominal Christians under Constantine assumed the mantle of the destroyers of true and faithful believers and became themselves the Satan, or opponent, to the true disciples of Christ. Revelation 13 describes the changing centre of persecution as history outworked itself in the course of interactions between church and state. The various beasts of Revelation 13 all share the character of 4th dreadful beast of Daniel 7 - the Romish persecutors of faithful believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. Initially John beheld a beast rise out of the sea (the Mediterranean Sea where he was exiled). The Beast described in verses 1-4 is a composite beast with elements from the beasts of Daniel 7. John sees this Beast being given what appeared to be a mortal wound. This occurred when the gothic kingdom of Odoacer took Rome 476 AD to 535 AD - but the 6th imperial head of Rome was revived with support from the eastern leg capital of Constantinople firstly by Emperor Justinian in the 530s AD and later by Emperor Phocus 609 AD. Both these rulers said that the supreme pontiff of the church was the bishop of Rome. As the eastern Empire crumbled, just as the Roman centre had done, the popes looked for support in the west and found it in Charlemagne the Emperor of the Franks, who was crowned by the pope on Christmas Day 799 AD. This new Beast was land based and called by the vision which John saw, "the beast of the earth". Both these powers in the east and the west acknowledged the supremacy of Rome's bishop and supported the persecution of the disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. Those saints of Jesus were slain in their millions by the Church of Rome. We are left with no doubts as to the great persecuting apostate power identified numerically as 666 in the last verse of the chapter, which tells us that it is a man's number (the man of sin described in 2 Thessalonians 2). History tells us that Iraneus, the bishop of Antioch stated in 165 AD that it was Lateinos (the Greek numerical value being 666). The official title of the Roman pontiff is, "vicarius filii Dei" (meaning the one who stands in the place of the Son of God - its Roman numeral equivalent is 666. This power is called in the Hebrew, "Romith" (numerical equivalent is 666). Every document signed by the bishop of Rome bears the authority of the Church, "Dux Cleri" (ie high priest, and its numerical value is 666). Let us shun the apostate church and as faithful disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ heed the warning of Revelation 18:4, "Come out of her my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues" ESV.

Programmet sändes första gången 6/12-2024.Vi besöker Geoffrey Hinton i hans hem i Toronto, och hör om den press han upplevde i barndomen, och om hans oerhörda drivkraft genom decennierna med övertygelsen om att de så kallade neurala nätverken var det som bäst kunde skapa en artificiell intelligens.Över en kopp kaffe berättar han om hur han nyligen lämnade sitt jobb på Google, samtidigt som han vaknat till insikten att AI snart kan bli mer intelligent än vi människor, och om att den då kan vilja ta över och göra sig av med oss människor. Hur tänker han sig hotet rent konkret, och vad kan vi göra för att tygla den artificiella intelligensen och använda den som den enorma positiv kraft den också kan vara?Reporter:Björn Gunér bjorn.guner@sr.se Producent: Lars Broström lars.brostrom@sr.se

Contributor: Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: How do we risk-stratify chest-pain patients? One option is the HEART score This score predicts a patient's 6-week risk of a major adverse cardiac event. Ex. Cath procedure, CABG, PCI, death H stands for History Ask 1) Was the patient diaphoretic? 2) Did they have nausea and/or vomiting? 3) Did the pain radiate down the right or left arm? 4) Was it exertional? Yes to one = one point. Two or more = two points. E stands for EKG One point for left ventricular hypertrophy, t-wave inversions, new bundle-branch blocks. No points for first degree AV block, benign early repolarization, or QT-prolongation Two points for ST-depression A stands for Age >65 gets two points 45-64 gets one point R stands for Risk factors Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, obesity, family history, smoking, previous MI, previous CABG, stroke, peripheral arterial disease 1-2 risk factors get 1 point More than two risk factors gets two points T stands for Troponin 1-3x upper limit of normal gets one point >3x upper limit of normal gets two points This gives you a score between zero and ten 0-3 points, patients have a ~2% chance of an adverse event These patients likely go home 4-6 points, patients have a ~20% chance of an adverse event These patients get admitted or expedited outpatient stress test/echo 7-10 points, patients have a ~60% chance of an adverse event Admit and call cardiology. These patients likely get catheterized References Backus BE, Six AJ, Kelder JC, Bosschaert MA, Mast EG, Mosterd A, Veldkamp RF, Wardeh AJ, Tio R, Braam R, Monnink SH, van Tooren R, Mast TP, van den Akker F, Cramer MJ, Poldervaart JM, Hoes AW, Doevendans PA.

Live at InfoComm 2025, Richard Hunt of Sharp joined HETMA at the booth to talk through Sharp's latest launches for higher ed — including long-life laser projectors, interactive displays, and a renewed focus on supporting standardized, sustainable AV across campus. With steady booth traffic and honest conversations, the takeaway was clear: Sharp isn't chasing trends; they're solving real problems for real schools.
The readings in Samuel follow the journey of the ark whilst it is in Philistine possession until its return to the covenant people at the "forest of the woods" (Kirjath-jearim see Psalm 132). Firstly in Ashdod Yahweh's supremacy is shown over Dagon the fish god, by its symbolic prostration before Israel's God and finally it being shattered. Following this the inhabitants were plagued with tumours, called emerods, or haemorrhoids in the AV; these tumours seemingly being occasioned by a mice plague. Despairingly the ark is relocated to each of the five chief cities and the plagues of mice and tumours following the pattern. The Philistines were terrified that Israel's God would destroy them and so they devised a scheme to make a trespass offering of gold fashioned after their plagues and to send the ark home. They took two cows, which were still feeding their calves, and contrary to the natural expectation wend their way to the house of Joshua in Beth-shemesh. Here curiosity overtook the foolish inhabitants who decided, contrary to God's laws, to gaze inside the ark and consequently 70 men died. Like the Philistines the ark was relocated to Kirjath-jearim where it remained for about 90 years before eventually being brought triumphantly by David to its resting place in Jerusalem.

Regnet kom aldrig. Istället steg en sol upp som ville något. Men ändå – doften. Den där doften. Petrichor. Sten och gudavätska. Somna, jag vet att du vet vad jag menar. Det här är ett avsnitt där regnet aldrig riktigt faller, men där allt ändå blir blött. Av längtan, av språk, av tystnad. Jag famlar efter ord och saboterar dem. Vi vänder och vrider, både på språket och på oss själva. Vi undersöker vad det betyder att längta efter något som inte går att formulera. En dikt föds. Eller snarare, ett ljud.

The Masters of Deception are presently working overtime to foment chaos and confusion. Civil War in the U.S., genocide in the Middle East and the balkanization of Russia are just a few of the theatrical treats well under way. There's nothing new under the Sun, and current events simply mirror the cyclic game-plan rehashed through centuries past. After being relentlessly hunted by faceless agents, a bewildered Butch Cassidy famously queried Sundance, his partner in crime, "who are these guys?!" The same question has crossed many minds in more recent times, as the undeniable antics of a predator class are now beginning to dispel the collective hypnosis. Alfacast friend, and audience favorite, Steve Falconer, returns with his incredible depth of knowledge to further expose the duplicitous machinations of these shadowy villains and the black box sorcery they use to maintain their power. In the last few shows with Steve, he identified a diversity of complicit players in secretive sects to paint a revealing mosaic from ancient times to the current globalists agenda. Rather than adding to this already comprehensive historical analysis, we've decided to conduct Part III in a roundtable discussion format. A growing portion of the populace is feeling a palpable & foreboding tension, so what can we do about it? The fact is, "we" have always held all of the cards, and this end-game is being played out exclusively on the mental plane. Weapons of mass distraction are the deadliest of all, and this Alfacast will focus on the re-emergence of ancient truths that we can use now to counter the agenda to usurp the Life Force of each and every embodied Soul. Steve is a prolific investigator and the voice of Spacebusters on Youtube, Bitchute, Odysee and Vigilante.tv. He is also the author of the children's book "The Dukes of Dense", available on all Amazon platforms and a former writer and administrator for Truth Serum News, where he wrote under the pen name Areyou Sure. He is a former Chicago native living in Copenhagen Denmark, a music teacher and full time touring musician. He is a father and researcher into all things hidden, esoteric and out of the ordinary daily experience, with a gift for debunking or demystifying occulted information.

Under onsdagen invigs det som har kallats för Norges månlandning, en anläggning för att fånga in koldioxid. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Anläggningen finns vid en cementfabrik i Brevik i Norge. Där ska koldioxid fångas in vid skorstenen och sedan fraktas till ett slutförvar djupt under havsbotten för att hindra att den bidrar till global uppvärmning. Projektet har varit på gång i många år, och Norges tidigare statsminister Jens Stoltenberg har kallat det för "Norges månlandning."Sådan här koldioxidinfångning är helt nödvändig för att klara EU:s miljömål, enligt EU. Men hur mycket kostar det, och har vi råd att bygga ut tekniken? Vetenskapsradions klimat- och miljöreporter Daniel Värjö är på plats under invigningen.Programledare: Gustaf KlarinReporter: Daniel Värjödaniel.varjo@sr.seProducent: Sara Sällströmsara.sallstrom@sr.se
The Lancet Volume 353, Issue 9146 p9-13 January 02, 1999Background: Accumulating data at the time suggested functional benefits of antagonism of beta-adrenoreceptors in patients with heart failure. Multiple specific beta-blockers were being tested in trials. The CIBIS 1 trial found a trend towards 20% lower mortality in the bisoprolol (a highly cardio-selective beta-blocker) group and 30% fewer admissions to hospital for worsening heart failure. The Cardiac Insufficiency Bisoprolol Study II (CIBIS-II) trial was designed to test this evidence further.Patients Eligible patients had New York Heart Association Class III-IV symptoms with LVEF ≤ 35% and were stable on diuretics and ACE-inhibitors. Exclusion criteria included recent MI or coronary intervention, AV block or resting heart rate less 60 bpm and systolic BP < 100 mmHg. Patients already on beta-blockers or with planned therapy with beta-blockers were also not enrolled.Cardiology Trial's remains independent, free of industry ads, due to reader generosity. Please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Baseline Characteristics The mean age of patients was 61 years, 81% male, and 83% Class III. The mean LVEF was 28%. About half the patients had ischemic heart disease, 12% primary dilated cardiomyopathy and nearly 40% had a mixture of valvular heart disease, hypertensive heart disease or unproven ischemic disease.The mean SBP on enrollment was 130 mmHg and resting HR was 80 bpm. The mean duration of heart failure before enrollment was 3.5 years. About 20% had AF at baseline. Nearly all patients were on ACE-I and half were on digoxin.Trial Procedures There was no run-in period. CIBIS II was double blinded. Slightly more than 2,600 patients were randomized 1:1 to bisoprolol or placebo in 274 hospitals across 18 countries.Patients in the bisoprolol group were started at 1.25 mg daily and titrated up weekly to as high as 10 mg daily. The goal was to attempt the highest tolerated dose. Patients were seen every 3 months.Endpoints The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints included all-cause hospital admissions, cardiovascular mortality, combined CV death and CV hospital admissions, and premature treatment withdrawals.The authors estimated a 11.2% mortality in the placebo group and powered the trial to find a 25% reduction in death in the bisoprolol arm over 2 years.Results The trial was sopped early (mean follow-up 1.3 years) after the planned second interim analysis for benefit. The primary outcome of all-cause death occurred in 11.8% in the bisoprolol group vs 17.3% in the placebo arm (HR 0.66 (95% CI 0.54-0.81, p < 0.0001)).Bisoprolol reduced sudden death (3.6% vs 6.3%), all-cause hospitalization (33% vs 39%), CV death (9% vs 12%). Permanent treatment withdrawal occurred in 15% of both arms.The subgroup analysis showed no substantial treatment heterogeneity. The most common dose was 10 mg daily reached in 43% of patients.Conclusion The 34% reduction in death was clinically meaningful and statistically robust. Our confidence in such a large effect size stems from a) previous data on beta-blockers, which found similar effects, b) the 42% reduction in sudden death in the bisoprolol arm and c) the large reductions in all-cause hospitalization. In addition, the trial conduct appeared strong with almost no lost-to-follow up. The lack of run-in period strengthens the external validity of CIBIS II.The same caveats seen in the US carvedilol trial also apply to CIBIS II, namely that patients were ambulatory, outpatients, mostly with Class III symptoms. Patients enrolled in the trial had a mean SBP of 130 mmHg and a resting heart rate of 80. Nearly all patients were tolerating ACE-I and half were taking digoxin. In addition, patients were started on low-dose and gradually titrated higher. The majority of patients were on higher than 5 mg daily.The authors warned against applying these results to non-ambulatory patients with Class IV symptoms, especially if there was recent instability.
