Abstract
Beta-blocker therapy in ischemic heart disease patients may prevent pr oarrhythmia and proischemic events. Recent analyses of the Canadian Am iodarone Myocardial Infarction Arrhythmia Trial and the European Myoca rdial Infarct Amiodarone Trial lend support to previous observations o f the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial suggesting such benefit.
