Premorbid β1-selective (but not non-selective) β-blocker exposure reduces intensive care unit mortality among septic patients

Abstract Background β-blockers may protect against catecholaminergic myocardial injury in critically ill patients. Long-term β-blocker users are known to have lower lactate concentrations and favorable sepsis outcomes. However, the effects of β1-selective and nonselective β-blockers on sepsis outcom...
