Beta Blocker Prescribed at Discharge
Heart Attack Treatment (Acute Myocardial Infarction or AMI) 
Beta blockers are a type of medicine that is used to lower blood pressure, treat chest pain (angina) and heart failure, and to help prevent a heart attack. Beta blockers relieve the stress on the heart by slowing the heart rate and reducing the force with which the heart muscle contracts (to pump blood). They also help keep blood vessels from constricting in your heart, brain, and body. Pick another Core Measure from the main table |
