Randomized controlled clinical trials document that beta blockers reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, particularly sudden death, in patients with hypertension, heart failure, and post-myocardial infarction. The benefits of beta blockers extend across the boundaries of age, gender, and ethnicity, and include diabetic patients with heart failure and/or previous myocardial infarction. Unfortunately, beta blockers remain underutilized in many high-risk patients who would likely benefit from their use. This paper reviews the protective role of beta blockade in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events and examines some of the potential barriers to appropriate beta blocker use in patients with compelling indications.
随机对照临床试验证明,β受体阻滞剂可降低高血压、心力衰竭和心肌梗死后患者的心血管发病率和死亡率,尤其是猝死率。β受体阻滞剂的益处不受年龄、性别和种族的限制,包括患有心力衰竭和/或既往心肌梗死的糖尿病患者。不幸的是,β受体阻滞剂在许多可能受益于其使用的高危患者中仍未得到充分利用。本文综述了β受体阻滞剂在心血管事件一级和二级预防中的保护作用,并探讨了在有明确适应证的患者中合理使用β受体阻滞剂的一些潜在障碍。
