Abstract
Preoperative Ã-blocker use is not associated with risk-adjusted mortality, several measures of morbidity, or hospital resource utilization after CABG operations. Thus, these data suggest that the routine use of preoperative Ã-blockers for CABG operations should not be used as a measure of surgical quality.
