The correct answer is: Within 24 hours as needed

In the treatment of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) with beta blockers (BA), it is crucial to administer the medication promptly within 24 hours of presentation. Beta blockers play a vital role in managing ACS by reducing heart rate, blood pressure, and myocardial oxygen demand, which can help prevent further ischemic events and improve outcomes. Delaying the administration of beta blockers beyond the first 24 hours may lead to missed opportunities to mitigate the progression of ACS and its complications. Therefore, initiating treatment with beta blockers promptly within 24 hours is essential for optimal management of ACS patients.
