These agents are useful in the management of patients with systemic hypertension, angina pectoris, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and a spectrum of cardiac dysrhythmias. Several beta-blockers have also shown "cardioprotective" effects in patients surviving a recent myocardial infarction, by reducing the incidence of death, sudden death, and reinfarction (1). Apparently, the major mechanism by which beta-blockers mediate their potent cardiovascular actions is via the competitive blockade of beta-1 adrenergic receptors that predominate in the heart. This hypothesis is not to discount the accumulating evidence of the additional...References1. MAYEBERLEINFURBERGPASSAMANIDEMETS GKCED.
