Randomized Evaluation of Decreased Usage of Beta-Blockers After Acute Myocardial Infarction

American College of Cardiology

The goal of the REDUCE-AMI trial was to evaluate the potential benefit of beta-blockade following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the modern era of coronary revascularization and medical therapy.
