| Popis: | Although perioperative beta-blockade is recommended for patients at higher risk of myocardial ischaemia (Eagle et al, 2002), adoption of such guidelines is limited. Concerns over clinical trial data, plus the safety of perioperative beta-blockade, persist. Since preoperative revascularization does not reduce mortality, a very large, increasingly elderly patient population will present major challenges for the anaesthetist. |
