Overview: Beta-blockers have traditionally been used indefinitely after a myocardial infarction (MI), but this is now only recommended for a subset of patients. Listen in as faculty review new recommendations for managing patients with chronic cardiac disease, including how to determine which patients are good candidates for beta-blocker therapy and for how long.
