Association of β-blockers with functional outcomes, death, and rehospitalization in older nursing home residents after acute myocardial infarction.
The researchers studied the association of beta-blockers after AMI with functional decline, mortality, and rehospitalization among long-stay nursing home residents 65 years or older. Use of beta-blockers after AMI was associated with functional decline in older nursing home residents with substantial cognitive or functional impairment, but not in those with relatively preserved mental and functional abilities.
