Question

Do beta blockers reduce your heart rate?

Answer 1

When beta blockers are administered the heart beats more slowly and with less force, thereby reducing blood pressure. They also help open up blood vessels to improve blood flow.

Explanation:

Beta blockers are a class of drugs that are particularly used to manage cardiac arrhythmias.

Beta receptors are found in cells of the heart muscles , airways, smooth muscles arteries and kidneys. They lead to stress responses , especially when they are stimulated by adrenaline.

Beta blockers interfere with binding of adrenaline to the receptors and weaken the effects of stress hormones.
