An analysis of 33 studies on beta blockers has concluded that they are not useful in any surgical procedure other than heart surgery. Instead, the use of beta blockers in most surgeries may actually increase the risk of stroke and bradycardia. At the moment the guidelines of both ACC and AHA recommend beta blockers in order to prevent surgical complications in non coronary operations.
