2. Beta blocker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_blocker

   Cardio selective beta blocker (β 1 blockers) can be prescribed at the least possible dose to those with mild to moderate respiratory symptoms. [ 55 ] [ 56 ] β2-agonists can somewhat mitigate β-blocker-induced bronchospasm where it exerts greater efficacy on reversing selective β-blocker-induced bronchospasm than the nonselective β-blocker ...

3. Antiarrhythmic agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiarrhythmic_agent

   Class Ib drugs shorten the action potential of myocardial cell and has a weak effect on the initiation of phase 0 of depolarization Treat and prevent ventricular arrhythmia during and immediately after myocardial infarction, though this is now discouraged given the increased risk of asystole; Ic Encainide; Flecainide; Moricizine; Propafenone

4. Management of acute coronary syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_acute...

   Antiarrhythmic agents are typically only given to individuals with life-threatening arrhythmias after a myocardial infarction and not to suppress the ventricular ectopy that is often seen after a myocardial infarction. [57] [58] [59] Cardiac rehabilitation aims to optimize function and quality of life in those affected by a heart disease. This ...

5. Ventricular remodeling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_remodeling

   As a result, there is dilatation of the chamber arising from the infarct region. The initial remodeling phase after a myocardial infarction results in repair of the necrotic area and myocardial scarring that may, to some extent, be considered beneficial since there is an improvement in or maintenance of LV function and cardiac output. Over time ...

6. Adrenergic blocking agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_blocking_agent

   Myocardial infarction (heart attack) Since beta 1 receptor are mainly located in the heart, most beta 1 blockers take abnormalities associated with the heart as the target. [5] It treats medical conditions like hypertension, arrhythmias, heart failure, chest pain, myocardial infarction.

7. Metoprolol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metoprolol

   It is also used to prevent further heart problems after myocardial infarction and to prevent headaches in those with migraines. [4] It is a selective β 1 receptor blocker medication. [4] It is taken by mouth or is given intravenously. [4] Common side effects include trouble sleeping, feeling tired, feeling faint, and abdominal discomfort. [4]

8. Discovery and development of beta-blockers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_and_development...

   The treatment with β-blockers reduces the incidence of sudden heart failure when the patient has already had a myocardial infarction. The reason is probably because of their anti-arrhythmic effects and also anti-ischemic effects. [10] A β-blocker therapy is also useful in myocardial infarction, independent to heart failure.

9. Sotalol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sotalol

   According to the FDA, sotalol should not be used in people with a waking heart rate lower than 50 beats per minute. [8] It should not be used in people with sick sinus syndrome, long QT syndrome, cardiogenic shock, uncontrolled heart failure, asthma or a related bronchospastic condition, or people with serum potassium below 4 meq/L. [8] It should only be used in people with a second and third ...
