Plain language summary

Recent studies and meta-analyses show that treatment with beta-blockers improves prognosis after myocardial infarction in patients with mildly reduced left ventricular function, but not in patients with normal function who have no other indications for beta-blockers. The results of these new studies will be incorporated into future guidelines and are likely to inform clinical practice worldwide.
