Xamoterol fumarate is a cardioselective partial beta-agonist, the first of its class to be developed for use in heart failure. The main advantage of xamoterol fumarate as a cardiotonic lies in the fact that its beta-blocking effect exerted during high sympathetic drive will protect the heart from overstimulation. It is claimed to be a viable but safer alternative to digoxin.
