(2) Our policy is not to give beta blockers to everybody, only those in high-risk groups.

(3) Half were given the beta blocker metoprolol, sold by AstraZeneca as Toprol XL, two to four hours before and 30 days after their surgery. The other half got a placebo.

(8) And we showed that when combined ranolazine with either enalapril or with a beta blocker, it gets a better improvement in LV function than with ranolazine alone.
