1. The REDUCE-AMI trial showed no significant benefit of beta-blockers in reducing all-cause mortality or future myocardial infarction in patients with acute myocardial infarction and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.

2. The trial included 5,020 patients who were randomized to either beta-blockade with metoprolol or bisoprolol or usual care, with follow-up over a median of 3.5 years.
