In patients with myocardial infarction (MI), do β-blockers reduce mortality?
Included studies compared β-blockers with control (other active treatment, no treatment, or placebo) in patients with MI. Studies that compared β-blockers with other β-blockers or investigated post-MI heart failure/left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction were excluded. Outcomes were all-cause mortality, cardiovascular (CV) mortality, sudden death, recurrent MI, angina pectoris, heart failure, cardiogenic shock, stroke, and drug discontinuation.
