Hypertension and COVID-19: Potential use of beta-blockers and a call for randomized evidence

Hypertension is one of the most common morbidities in COVID-19. Previous studies demonstrated that hypertension increases composite poor outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Beta-blockers is widely used as one of the most common antihypertensive agents. Beta-blockers may hold potential benefits in CO...
