What are the recommended beta-blocker therapies for patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction following a heart attack or ACS?
Beta-blocker therapy should be used in all patients with LV systolic dysfunction (EF <40%) with heart failure or prior MI, unless contraindicated. Specifically, use should be limited to carvedilol, metoprolol succinate, or bisoprolol, which have been shown to reduce risk of death.
