This meta-analysis of currently available observational cohort studies suggests that MB has an association with adverse cardiac events. Further prospective multicenter studies with large sample size are needed to confirm current findings. Moreover, studies refining the impact of different types of MB on cardiac events, myocardial ischemia, and symptoms requiring therapy, may provide more insights to this issue.
