Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Carvedilol is a cardioselective beta blocker. It is useful in heart rate and blood pressure control. It is also having the unique property of cardioprotection.

It actually prevents myocardial damage. Therefore, Carvedilol should be started in all cardiac patients because it is a reliable drug for your Heart disease.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
