text: As a beta-blocker, pindolol protects the heart from beta-adrenoceptor stimulation by acetecholamines during physical exercise and mental stress, prevents excessive sympathetic drive to the heart, resulting in a fall in heart rate and a decrease in cardiac work and myocardial oxygen consumption and also reduces the sympathetic drive to the heart at rest.
