Drugs that block the action of the hormone epinephrine. Usually used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease, they may be effective in the treatment of benign essential tremor (see above).
Medications that reduce heart or blood vessel overactivity to improve blood circulation. Also used to prevent migraine headaches, hypertension and angina. See Hypertension; angina.
drugs that block one of the receptors for epinephrine and, hence, its effect. They are used to treat hypertension, angina, tremor and migraine.
A class of blood pressure medications that reduce the heart rate and power of its pumping action and widen the blood vessels.
a type of medication that reduces nerve impulses to the heart and blood vessels. This makes the heart beat slower and with less force. Blood pressure drops and the heart works less hard.
drugs that relieve stress on the heart by "blocking" the stimulating effect of adrenaline
A class of drugs that block "beta-adrenergic receptors" and are capable of diminishing many symptoms of thyroid-hormone excess. Propranolol, atenolol, metoprolol, and nadolol are all beta-blocking drugs.
A large group of drugs that affect the activity of the nervous system by blocking certain receptors at nerve endings. Their effects include reducing heart rate and blood pressure.
drugs which slow the heart rate, reduce the work which is performed by the heart and lower high blood pressure. They are also known as beta-adrenergic antagonists.
Type of medication that reduces heart rate. Exercisers who take beta-blockers will have a lower heart rate at rest and during exercise, so the target heart rate formula cannot be used in this case.
Prescribed to treat heart disorders and high blood pressure, this group of drugs is also known as Beta-adrenergic blocking agents.
any of a class of drugs that combine with and block the activity of a beta-receptor to decrease the heart rate and force of contractions and lower high blood pressure.
Drugs which block the action of epinephrine at certain sites. Usually used to treat hypertension and heart disease, they may be effective in the treatment of benign essential tremor.
A group of drugs useful for damping down excessively fast heart rates and reducing high blood pressure.
Medications that restrict the heart rate from increasing in response to stress.
Beta-blockers are commonly used for heart disease to lower blood pressure and decrease the heart rate, and may be used to descrease fine motor tremor.
help control heart rate and reduce the heartâ€(tm)s tendency to beat faster. Used to help the heart maintain a slower rate and lower blood pressure. Often used in combination with diuretics, digoxin and ACE inhibitors.
Beta-adrenergic blocking agents Prescribed to treat heart disorders and high blood pressure.
The most commonly used class of glaucoma eye drops. Beta blockers inhibit the formation of aqueous humour, thereby lowering intraocular pressure. They can precipitate asthma and heart failure in susceptible individuals.
Medications that are commonly prescribed for lowering blood pressure, relieving angina, or treating congestive heart failure. These drugs are thought to trigger or aggravate psoriasis in some people.
A class of blood pressure medications that ease the heart's pumping action and widen the blood vessels. Beta-blockers counteract the effects of epinephrine used for emergency treatment of anaphylactic shock and should not be used during immunotherapy.
Drugs used to treat chronic angina, high blood pressure, and other conditions. These medications may decrease the strength and rate of the heartbeat by blocking beta-receptors, which receive signals from the brain to make the heart work harder, for example, during exercise or emotional stress. By reducing the heart's workload, beta-blockers may decrease the amount of oxygen that the heart requires.
medications that relax the heart and reduce the vigor of its contractions. Recent studies have indicated that treatment with beta-blockers in certain congestive heart failure patients can reduce future hospitalizations.
A large group of medications that are used in the of heart conditions such as angina, heart arrhythmias, high blood pressure and mitral valve prolapse. The drugs act to block specific receptors (beta-adrenergic receptors) in the nervous system, resulting in the slowing of the heart rate, reduction in blood pressure and reduced anxiety.
A class of drugs used to treat high blood pressure and other heart conditions.
Beta-blockers are medicines that reduce the heart's tendency to beat faster, and therefore help reduce blood pressure.
Medications used to decrease HR, BP, contraction and stroke volume of heart & decrease O2 demands. Agents are utilized to treat: hypertension, angina, specific cardiac arrhythmias; post myocardial infarctions
