Abstract
After studies in the 1990s suggested that beta-blockers offer substantial benefits when given before surgery, several national organizations endorsed the perioperative use of these drugs as a best practice in certain patients, However, subsequent research has cast doubt on whether it is appropriate to use these drugs as widely as suggested by those early studies.
