Effect of combined statin and beta-blocker treatment on one-year morbidity and mortality after acute myocardial infarction associated with heart failure

Abstract

This retrospective, nonrandomized analysis evaluated the effect of initiating statin or beta-blocker treatment early in the course of heart failure developed during acute myocardial infarction compared with the effect of neither or both treatments. Early initiation of statins or beta blockers alone was associated with improved event-free survival, and the benefits of the combined treatment were additive.
