A member asked:
Betablockers or not after mitral valve repair? reduces fast heart rate but does taking them make any real difference to stress on your heart longterm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Beta blocker: There is no need for beta blocker in mitral valve repair alone unless you have concomitant other problems, for example, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation or systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle.
