The purpose of this study was to assess the safety of heart rate optimization by use of β-adrenergic blockade solely by the i.v. route before coronary CT angiography. The records of 679 patients undergoing CT coronary angiography after receiving i.v.
To evaluate the usage, safety, and efficacy of high-dose intravenous metoprolol for heart rate reduction in computer tomographic (CT) coronary angiography. As this was retrospective analysis of anonymous data, medical ethics committee approval was waived by the regional health research
