Discussion Based on the largest European prospective, observational, multicenter registry on CS from a wide spectrum of etiologies, we showed several points: (1) the use of BBs within 24 h of CS did not increase 1-month and 1-year all-cause mortality; (2) BB continuation in the early period of CS was not associated with increased short- and long-term mortality, but rather, BB discontinuation was associated with increased 1-month all-cause mortality; (3) early (≤24 h) BB introduction did not significantly improve prognosis but still had a positive trend; and (4) patients treated with BBs within 24 h of CS generally had less severe prior cardiomyopathy and less severe forms of CS.

A positive trend in favour of the male population was noticed for the HF power, but statistical significance was not reached (SMD [95% CI] 0.14 [− 0.01, 0.29], p = 0.07, 692 subjects, 6 studies).
