  2. Beta blocker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_blocker

    Beta blockers are known primarily for their reductive effect on heart rate, although this is not the only mechanism of action of importance in congestive heart failure. [17] Beta blockers, in addition to their sympatholytic β 1 activity in the heart, influence the renin–angiotensin system at the kidneys.

  3. Betaxolol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betaxolol

    It is also a adrenergic blocker with no partial agonist action and minimal membrane stabilizing activity. [2] Being selective for beta 1 receptors, it typically has fewer systemic side effects than non-selective beta-blockers, for example, not causing bronchospasm (mediated by beta 2 receptors) as timolol may.

    If not effective and the person has a normal blood pressure the medication adenosine may be tried. [4] If adenosine is not effective a calcium channel blocker or beta blocker may be used.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_blocking_agent

    The combination of beta blockers and antihypertensive drugs will work on different mechanism to lower blood pressure. [17] For example, the co-administration of beta-1 blocker atenolol and ACE inhibitor lisinopril could produce a 50% larger reduction in blood pressure than using either drug alone. [18]

  8. Premature ventricular contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_ventricular...

    Beta blockers: do not directly affect or reduce the occurrence of PVCs, but reduce cardiac contractility which makes PVCs less obvious to a person; possibly reduce catecholamine induced PVCs (in catecholamine-sensitive people) due to adrenaline not reaching sinus node as much. [14] Calcium channel blockers [14] Electrolytes replacement

    The medications most likely to result in palpitations include sympathomimetic agents, anticholinergic drugs, vasodilators and withdrawal from beta blockers. [ 1 ] [ 7 ] Common etiologies also include excess caffeine , or marijuana . [ 1 ]
