The value of β-Mockers as antiarrhythmic drugs in patients with sustained VT or VF has received only little attention. This article summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding the identification of patients with sustained VT or VF with the highest benefit of β-blockade. The antiarrhythmic mechanisms of β-blockade and its efficacy as single or adjuvant therapy in patients with sustained VT or VF are reviewed. Current insights into the effects of β-blockade in patients suffering from VT, in particular in the setting of heart failure, are discussed and future directions are considered.
