Of 477 asymptomatic persons, mean age 79 +/- 8 years, with prior myocardial infarction and a left ventricular ejection fraction less than or equal to 40%, 107 (22%) were treated with beta blockers alone, 89 (19%) with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors alone, 132 (28%) with beta blockers plus ACE inhibitors, and 149 (31%) with no beta blocker or ACE inhibitor, and followed for 31 +/- 19 months. The Cox regression model showed that compared with treatment with no beta blocker or ACE inhibitor, the percent reduction in new coronary events was 25% for beta blockers alone, 17% for ACE inhibitors alone, and 37% for beta blockers plus ACE inhibitors; the percent reduction in congestive heart failure was 41% for beta blockers alone, 32% for ACE inhibitors alone, and 60%, for beta blockers plus ACE inhibitors.
