Higher Resting Heart Rate Still Signals Risk After Myocardial Infarction, and Stopping β-Blockers Raises Heart Rate Without Identifying a Safe Subgroup

By MedXY 06/10/2026

A secondary analysis of ABYSS shows that in stable post-MI patients with preserved ejection fraction, higher heart rate remains prognostic and β-blocker interruption increases heart rate by about 10–13 bpm while worsening outcomes across heart-rate strata.
