Presents the first experimental evidence indicating that beneficial actions of lipophilic β-blockers in preventing ventricular fibrillation in pigs could be attributed to their possible action ...

Beta-blockers antagonize beta-1 and beta-2 receptors ... Membrane stabilization: Stabilizing membranes decreases the propagation of action potentials. This is also the mechanism that local ...

β-blockers exert an antihypertensive effect via several mechanisms of action: central inhibition of sympathetic nervous system outflow, inhibition of the renin–angiotensin system by decreasing ...

Beta-blockers (sometimes written as β-blockers) work by calming down the effects of adrenaline, which is a hormone that makes your body get ready for action, as in a fight-or-flight situation.

Often used as a hypertension treatment drug, beta blockers may also be prescribed in cases of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, and more, according to StatPearls.

as well as during acute coronary syndromes when beta-blockers are contraindicated. Verapamil has been studied to treat hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, as well as multifocal atrial ...
