De-Adoption of Beta-Blockers in Patients With Stable Ischemic Heart Disease (NCT05081999)
De-Adoption Ξ²eta-Blockers in Patients With Stable Ischemic Heart Disease Without REduced LV Ejection Fraction, Ongoing Ischemia, or Arrhythmias: a pragmaTic randomizEd Trial With Blinded Endpoints
π©Ί Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Patients with heart disease are often prescribed many medications and these patients may experience drug interactions or negative drug related side effects. With newer medications and treatments available, it is not well known whether older drugs, such as beta-blockers, are still an effective and safe option for treating heart disease. Some evidence suggests beta-blockers should be continued, whereas other evidence suggests beta-blockers might cause unnecessary harm. The study hopes to determine whether continuation or discontinuation of beta-blockers will affect long term cardiovascular outcomes. The study investigators will also examine how beta-blockers continuation or discontinuation affects several quality of life measures.
