%X Introduction: The use of discharge ¦Â-blockers after cardiac surgery is associated with a long-term mortality benefit. ¦Â-Blockers have been suggested to be less effective in black cardiovascular patients compared with whites. To date, racial differences in the long-term survival of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients who receive ¦Â-blockers at discharge have not been examined.
