Beta-Blockers May Raise Mortality In Those With Diabetes,

reports that the “use of beta-blockers may be associated with an increased mortality risk in patients with diabetes, particularly among those who have coronary heart disease (CHD),” according to new research published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings. Medscape says, “Among nearly 3000 participants with diabetes, all-cause mortality over 5 to 6 years was significantly higher in those taking beta-blockers than those who were not, with an even more pronounced effect among those with CHD.” http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(17)30845-5/fulltext
