Questioning Beta-Blocker Interruption After Heart Attack
CardiacWire
SEPTEMBER 8, 2024
Results from the ABYSS trial surprised many at ESC 2024, finding that patients who continue beta-blocker therapy after heart attacks have better long-term outcomes than patients who stop taking the drugs, and they don’t experience the quality of life downsides that some might expect. Roughly 2M people in the United States and Europe have an acute MI every year, often followed by beta-blocker prescriptions.
