[0002] The present invention relates to a new method of treatment using compounds which are dual non-selective β-adrenoceptor and α1-adrenoceptor antagonists in particular the carbazolyl-(4)-oxypropanolamine compounds of Formula I, preferably carvedilol, for decreasing the mortality of patients suffering from congestive heart failure (CHF). The invention also relates to a method of treatment using compounds which are dual non-selective β-adrenoceptor and α1-adrenoceptor antagonists, in particular the carbazolyl-(4)-oxypropanolamine compounds of Formula I, preferably carvedilol, in conjunction with one or more other therapeutic agents, said agents being selected from the group consisting of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, diuretics, and cardiac glycosides, for decreasing the mortality of patients suffering from CHF. The invention further relates to an incremental application sche...
