Two-thirds of the patients had an ST-elevation MI; the rest had symptoms compatible with an AMI with electrocardiographic changes accompanied by an increase in serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase or creatine phosphokinase. Early reports of randomized clinical trials, based on a subgroup analysis of BHAT, confirmed the benefit of beta-blocker therapy for both ischemic and nonischetnic systolic heart failure.
