  2. Beta blocker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_blocker

    Beta blockers are widely used for the treatment of hypertension. [24] A 2014 Cochrane review found that in individuals with mild-to-moderate hypertension, non-selective beta blockers led to a reduction of -10/-7mmHg (systolic/diastolic) without increased rates of adverse events. [25]

  3. Antihypertensive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antihypertensive

    Beta-blockers can block beta-1 adrenergic receptors and/or beta-2 adrenergic receptors. Those that block beta-1-adrenergic receptors prevent the binding of endogenous catecholamines (such as epinephrine and norepinephrine), which ultimately reduces blood pressure through decreasing renin and cardiac output release.

  4. Beta-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-adrenergic_agonist

    Beta adrenergic agonists or beta agonists are medications that relax muscles of the airways, causing widening of the airways and resulting in easier breathing. [1] They are a class of sympathomimetic agents, each acting upon the beta adrenoceptors . [ 2 ]

    beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and renin-angiotensin system-acting agents, which all help lower blood pressure. They also examined the combination use of these medications.

    Beta blockers work by blocking the effects of adrenaline, aka slowing your heart rate and reducing those physical signs and symptoms of nervousness and anxiety, he explained.

  7. Cardiovascular agents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_agents

    Beta-blockers act as competitive antagonists that block the effects of catecholamines at beta-adrenergic receptor sites, resulting in reduced rate and force of contraction of the heart, as well as reduced peripheral vascular resistance. [14] Non-selective beta-blockers: propranolol, nadolol, timolol

  8. Adrenergic blocking agent - Wikipedia

    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]

  9. Bisoprolol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisoprolol

    Bisoprolol, sold under the brand name Zebeta among others, is a beta blocker which is selective for the beta-1 receptor [7] and used for cardiovascular diseases, [7] including tachyarrhythmias, high blood pressure, angina, and heart failure. [7] [8] It is taken by mouth. [7]
