Future/novel uses of beta blockers in clinical therapeutics.

abstract：:Despite the significant advances made in the understanding and treatment of coronary artery disease much remains unclear about the pathogenesis of this complex atherothrombotic process. Atherogenesis may reflect a combination of multiple factors interacting with one another leading to coronary artery occlusion. One po...
