Influence of beta-blocker therapy on the risk of infections and death in patients at high risk for stroke induced immunodepression. [PDF]
Stroke-induced immunodepression is a well characterized complication of acute ischemic stroke. In experimental studies beta-blocker therapy reversed stroke-induced immunodepression, reduced infection rates and mortality.
