Multicenter Study
β blockers and mortality after myocardial infarction in patients without heart failure: multicentre prospective cohort study.
To assess the association between early and prolonged β blocker treatment and mortality after acute myocardial infarction. ⋯ Early β blocker use was associated with reduced 30 day mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction, and discontinuation of β blockers at one year was not associated with higher five year mortality. These findings question the utility of prolonged β blocker treatment after acute myocardial infarction in patients without heart failure or left ventricular dysfunction.Trial registration Clinical trials NCT00673036.
