Summary

This trial will evaluate the ability of metoprolol (a beta-blocker drug) to prevent heart attacks and deaths around the time of surgery.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Metoprolol controlled release (CR)

Patients received the first dose of the study drug (i.e., oral metoprolol CR or matching placebo 100 mg) 2-4 hours prior to surgery. Administration of the study drug at each dosing time required a patient to have a heart rate ≥ 50 beats per minute (bpm) and a systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 100 mmHg. If the patient's heart rate was ≥ 80 bpm and their SBP ≥ 100 mmHg at any time during the first 6 hours after surgery, the patient received their first postoperative dose (i.e., 100 mg of the study drug) orally. Patients who did not receive the study drug during the first 6 hours after surgery received 100 mg of the study drug orally at 6 hours after surgery. Twelve hours after the first postoperative dose patients started taking oral metoprolol CR or placebo 200 mg daily for 30 days.
