for high risk patients beta blockers are started one month prior to elective surgery to reduce the myocardial oxygen demand.. are patients with peripheral vascular disease included in this group, because i seem to recall reading somewhere in uw that patients with PVD are also give beta blockers one month prior to surgery???
