National assessment of early beta-blocker therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction in China, 2001-2011: The China Patient-centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events (PEACE)-Retrospective AMI study.
The objective of this study was to perform a national quality assessment of early β-blocker use during hospitalization for AMI over the past decade in China. It found that the use of early β-blocker therapy for patients with AMI in China is suboptimal, with underuse in patients who could benefit and substantial use among those who might be harmed.
