Should you take carvedilol for high blood pressure if your heart rate is 42?

no... 42 is pretty low and carvedilol can lower resting HR, but the true use of carvedilol is not to lower BP its to maintain heart function in patients with low ejection fraction.

Is carvedilol a satin?
No. Carvedilol is a beta-blocker that affects heart rate and blood pressure. Statins affect cholesterol.
What is coreg?
Coreg is one of the various trade names of Carvedilol as a generic drug in the U.S. fro the company GlaxoSmithKline. Carvedilol is a non-selective beta blocker/alpha-1 blocker indicated in the treatment of mild to moderate congestive heart failure (CHF). Carvedilol is a beta blocker and an alpha blocker:* Norepinephrine stimulates the nerves that control the muscles of the heart by binding to the β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors. Carvedilol blocks the binding to those receptors, which both slows the heart rhythm and reduces the force of the heart's pumping. This lowers blood pressure and reduces heart failure. * Norepinephrine also binds to the α1-adrenergic receptors on blood vessels, causing them to constrict and raise blood pressure. Carvedilol blocks this binding to the α1-adrenergic receptors too, which also lowers blood pressure.
Should a patient take Carvedilol for high blood pressure if their heart rate is 42 beats per minute?
Carvedilol is an alpha/beta blocker and as such can lower resting heart rate. A resting HR of 42 is already dangerously low. Good HR's range from 60-100 bpm. 30's are cause for alarm and possibly pacemaker implantation if cause is not discerned. In any case, your heartrate is not the same as your blood pressure, so you would need to find out what that is beforehand.
Is carvedilol a blood thinner?
Metaprolol is a Beta-Blocker. It is not a blood thinner. It works to inhibit part of the parasympathetic nervous system. It is generally used to treat such things as high blood pressure, fast heart rates, and to help the heart contract harder to put out more blood volume. Some common "Blood Thinnners" are Heparin, Lovenox, Warfarin (Coumadin), and Pradaxa. More information about Metaprolol can be found at the manufacturer's website.
If heart baet is high so is it necssary that blood pressure should also be high?
No not always. If someone is bleeding badly for example their blood pressure will be low but heart rate high as a compensation. Blood pressure and heart rate are usually inversly related.
What controls venous blood pressure?
The heart. All blood pressure is controlled by the heart.
What is differenc between the blood pressure and heartbeat?
The heart beat is the beating of the heart. Blood pressure is the amount of pressure the heart beat causes the blood to push against the blood vessels.
What are the effects of aerobic training on blood pressure?
Generally, your resting blood pressure and heart rate should fall.
What type of blood pressure is produced when the heart is in a relaxed state?
The measurement of blood pressure results in two numbers: the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. This is expressed as a fraction: systolic over diastolic. The diastolic blood pressure is produced when the heart is in a relaxed state. It is the measure of the pressure exerted on the arteries during diastole, or relaxation.
What causes blood pressure to rise and heart rate and change of breathing while sleeping?
when heart rate increases, blood pressure rises. When heart rate decreases, blood pressure drops. medications, and diseases affects the blood pressure. Source: About Blood Pressure
What is the relationship between the heart and blood pressure?
Heart rate and blood pressure are intimately related. Nerves and hormones constantly monitor and balance the heart rate and blood pressure.
How often should I take my blood pressure?
You should take your blood pressure regularly. Especially if you are overweight or have previous family conditions of heart attack. Lay off the salt!
