Improving Survival Following a Heart Attack

A heart attack (also known as a myocardial infarction) is a life-threatening event in which the supply of blood and oxygen to part of the heart is blocked for a long enough time that a portion of the heart muscle dies.

When people are given Tenormin after a heart attack, the risk of dying decreases by about 15 percent. It is not known how this or other beta blockers improve survival following a heart attack.
