  2. Beta blocker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_blocker

    One should be very cautious with the use of beta blockers in tachycardia patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, as it can result in life-threatening arrhythmia in certain patients. By slowing the conduction through the AV node, preferential conduction through the accessory pathway is favored.

  3. Sinus tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinus_tachycardia

    Beta blockers may be used to decrease tachycardia in patients with certain conditions, such as ischemic heart disease and rate-related angina. In patients with inappropriate sinus tachycardia, careful titration of beta-blockers, salt loading, and hydration typically reduce symptoms.

  4. Bisoprolol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisoprolol

    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]

  5. Antiarrhythmic agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiarrhythmic_agent

    Class II agents are conventional beta blockers. They act by blocking the effects of catecholamines at the β 1 -adrenergic receptors , thereby decreasing sympathetic activity on the heart, which reduces intracellular cAMP levels and hence reduces Ca 2+ influx.

  6. Propranolol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propranolol

    Since beta blockers are known to relax the cardiac muscle and to constrict the smooth muscle, beta-adrenergic antagonists, including propranolol, have an additive effect with other drugs which decrease blood pressure, or which decrease cardiac contractility or conductivity.

  7. Metoprolol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metoprolol

    Metoprolol is used for a number of conditions, including hypertension, angina, acute myocardial infarction, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, congestive heart failure, and prevention of migraine headaches.

  8. Ventricular tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_tachycardia

    Beta-blockers and a number of class III anti-arrhythmics are commonly used, such as the beta-blockers carvedilol, metoprolol, and bisoprolol, and the Potassium-Channel-Blockers amiodarone, dronedarone, bretylium, sotalol, ibutilide, and dofetilide.

  9. Tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia

    Tachycardia, also called tachyarrhythmia, is a heart rate that exceeds the normal resting rate. In general, a resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute is accepted as tachycardia in adults. Heart rates above the resting rate may be normal (such as with exercise) or abnormal (such as with electrical problems within the heart).

  10. Atenolol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atenolol

    Beta-blocking effects of atenolol include reduction in resting and exercise heart rate and cardiac output, reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure at rest and with exercise, inhibition tachycardia induced by isoproterenol (a non-selective β-adrenergic receptor agonist), and reduction of reflex orthostatic tachycardia.

  11. Sotalol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sotalol

    Sotalol is a non-selective β-adrenergic receptor blocker which has both class II and class III antiarrhythmic properties. Sotalol was first described in 1964 and came into medical use in 1974. It is available as a generic medication.
