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.
