Author(s): Shu Hong Guo, Yi He and Qiang FuShu Hong Guo, Yi He and Qiang Fu
Early intravenous beta-blockers reduce the risk of recurrent ischaemia and ventricular arrhythmia in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. These beneficial efficacy, however, are balanced by a high rate of cardiogenic shock.
