Abstract: | Using an operator product expansion (OPE) in the inverse of the heavy quark massM
Q
and a dispersive approach, we rederive theB andB
* couplings and the Isgur-Wise function predicted by the infinite mass effective theory (IMET). We find that, at the subtraction pointM
Q
and using VDM for the spectral function, these observables are governed by the universal
light quark condensate. We also find that the corrections induced by finite values ofM
c
andM
b
are large and are due to the splitting b between the ground state and its radial excitation. We review the determinations of the different decay constants, couplings and masses from QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR). Forf

andf

, we conclude the optimum average:f
B
=(1.59±0.09±0.27)f
andf
D
=(1.31±0.12)f
, where the main error is due to the quark mass, while the first one inf
B
is due to the non-perturbative terms and to the choice of the continuum thresholdt
c
from the onset of sum rule variable stability until thet
c
-stability regions. We also find that the vector coupling V satisfies approximately the IMETM
