Association of beta-blocker therapy at discharge with clinical outcomes in patients without heart failure or left ventricular systolic dysfunction after acute coronary syndrome: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: In patients without heart failure or left ventricular systolic dysfunction after ACS in the contemporary PCI era, beta-blocker therapy may still be beneficial due to a potential reduced risk of all-cause death.PMID:36376209 | DOI:10.1016/j.acvd.2022.09.004
