Beta-blockers and renin-angiotensin system inhibitors in acute myocardial infarction managed with inhospital coronary revascularization.

ABSTRACT: Pivotal trials of beta-blockers (BB) and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (ACEI/ARB) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were largely conducted prior to the widespread adoption of early revascularization. A total of 15,073 patients with AMI who underwent inhospital coronary revascularization from January 2007 to December 2013 were analyzed. At 12 months, BB was significantly associated with a lower incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE, adjusted HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.70-0.93) and all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.55-0.88), while ACEI/ARB was significantly associated with lower all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.66-0.98) and heart failure (HF) hospitalization (adjusted HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.68-0.95). Combined BB and ACEI/ARB use was associated with the lowest incidence of MACE (adjusted HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.57-0.86), all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 0.55, 95% CI 0.40-0.77) and HF hospitalization (adjusted HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.48-0.86). This were consistent for left ventricular ejection fraction
