A randomized controlled trial of beta-blockers effects on cardiac anxiety
This trial found no evidence of an effect of beta-blockers on CA among AMI-patients with preserved cardiac function. However, lacking information on beta-blocker adherence limits the possibility of drawing firm conclusions. Furthermore, there might be a differential effect among patients depending on their baseline CA level, as patients with moderate baseline CA randomized to beta-blockers reported lower CA during follow-up than controls.
