* This table does not include trials that used beta-blockers only for premedication[11][12][13] or only during postoperative care[14].
† Minimum allowed HR. The lowest heart rate allowed before beta-blockers were withheld.
‡ The DECREASE I trial was stopped early when a significant benefit was observed and the relative risk was 0.2. By Bayesian analysis, the relative risk is more likely to be 0.5 which leads to an event rate in the treatment group of 8.5%.
Notes:

  1. Color indicates statistically significant differences with green indicating benefit and red indicating harm.
  2. BBSA noted more drug toxicity among patients with abnormal beta1-adrenergic receptor genetic polymorphisms.[3]
  3. Mavs had trend toward most benefit in RCRI = 3.[5]
