These Blood Pressure Medications Cause Heart Attack

The main reason doctors prescribe blood pressure medications is to avoid stroke and heart attack.

But a new study from Denmark has shown that one of the most common blood pressure medications can actually double your risk of stroke and heart attack.

In looking at 55,000 patients and their histories, it was shown that those who were taking beta-blockers were at an alarmingly higher risk of dying from stroke and heart attack during non-cardiac related surgeries.

Wait – what?

Aren’t these meds supposed to prevent those very complications?

Many years ago, doctors started prescribing beta-blockers (like metoprolol) to patients routinely before many types of surgery.

This was supposed to lower their blood pressure in an effort to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack during the course of the surgery.

However, a trend started to develop over the years, which is the likely reason why the doctors in Denmark wanted to study it. This trend was related to the troubling question on whether the drugs were causing more harm than good.

And it turns out that their suspicion was spot on.

The study found that patients on beta-blockers had more than double the risk of suffering a major cardiac event during surgery when compared to their cohorts that were not on the medication.
