Risk calculators and risk factors for Coronary heart disease secondary prevention beta-blockers

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

2011 AHA/ACCF Guidelines for Secondary Prevention and Risk Reduction Therapy for Patients with Coronary and other Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease (DO NOT EDIT) [1]

Beta Blockers (DO NOT EDIT) [1]

Class I
"1. β-Blocker therapy should be used in all patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction ≤40%) with heart failure or prior myocardial infarction, unless contraindicated. (Use should be limited to carvedilol, metoprolol succinate, or bisoprolol, which have been shown to reduce mortality.) [2][3] (Level of Evidence: A)"
"2. β-Blocker therapy should be started and continued for 3 years in all patients with normal left ventricular function who have had myocardial infarction or ACS. [4][5] (Level of Evidence: B)"
Class IIa

"1. It is reasonable to continue β-blockers beyond 3 years as chronic therapy in all patients with normal left ventricular function who have had myocardial infarction or ACS. [4][5] (Level of Evidence: B)"

"2. It is reasonable to give β-blocker therapy in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction ≤40%) without heart failure or prior myocardial infarction. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Class IIb

"1. β-Blockers may be considered as chronic therapy for all other patients with coronary or other vascular disease. (Level of Evidence: C)"
