CHD 10.1 Rationale

Long-term beta blockade remains an effective and well-tolerated treatment that reduces mortality and morbidity in patients with angina and patients after myocardial infarction.

Although the trial evidence relates mainly to patients who have had a myocardial infarction, experts have generally extrapolated this evidence to all patients with CHD.Because the evidence is not based on all patients with CHD, the target levels for this indicator have been set somewhat lower than for other process indicators.

Recent evidence against the use of beta blockers in hypertension should not be extrapolated to patients with CHD.

Grade A Recommendation SIGN Guidelines 96 and 97 (2007)
