Medical treatment of ischaemic heart disease--beta-blockers

Eur Heart J. 1985 Jan:6 Suppl A:13-30. doi: 10.1093/eurheartj/6.suppl_a.13.

Abstract

A wealth of evidence supports the use of beta-blockers in stable angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, both early and late. The situation in unstable angina is less well illuminated, but forthcoming results of trials will hopefully close some of this gap.
