If true, this gives me some concern. I take Metoprolol Succcinate, 50mg, for about 3 years now after suffering from an attack of Takasubu when my sister passed away. I have not any unusual symptoms or pathology taking this medication. I am 88 yrs.old and take other medicines as well for pressure, heart issues , etc. I do review these with my internist who is a cardiologist and am due for an ekg in March when I will review again.

I'm not sure which part you're addressing by "If true, this gives me some concern".

If you're addressing the ability for Tartrate to prevent a 2nd Heart Attack, it may be the studies focussed on the Tartrate version and not the Succinate. I can't find why one would and one wouldn't, they're different forms of the same medication, but the Succinate is designed to be long acting. Without studies of the Succinate version, they wouldn't be able to make a claim that it reduces the chance of a 2nd Heart Attack.
