What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple way to protect the heart during breast cancer surgery for patients with high blood pressure or chest pain.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 100 people. It may not show a clear benefit, and propranolol can cause side effects like low blood pressure or slow heart rate.
