Beta-blockers
About the Procedure
Beta-blockers are medications that reduce heart rate, lower blood pressure, and decrease the heart’s workload by blocking the effects of adrenaline (epinephrine) on the heart and blood vessels. They are commonly used to manage hypertension, angina, heart failure, arrhythmias, and post-heart attack care. Beta-blockers improve survival, reduce symptoms, and prevent complications in cardiovascular diseases. They are prescribed carefully, considering potential side effects and interactions with other conditions or medications.
