Why the study?

Does bisoprolol reduce cardiac death or myocardial infarction in high-risk patients after successful major vascular surgery?

Structured PICO

Does bisoprolol reduce cardiac death or myocardial infarction in high-risk patients after successful major vascular surgery?

Population

112 high-risk patients after successful major vascular surgery (defined by the presence of one or more cardiac risk factors and a dobutamine echocardiography test positive for ischaemia). 101 survivors were followed up.

Intervention

Bisoprolol therapy continued after surgery

Comparator

Standard care

Outcome

Composite of cardiac death or myocardial infarctioncomposite

Bisoprolol significantly reduces the long-term risk of cardiac death and myocardial infarction in high-risk patients following major vascular surgery.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Supports bisoprolol in high-risk post-vascular surgery patients; extends evidence for long-term beta-blocker cardioprotection.
