What is the difference between inotropic and cronotropic effect?

An inotropic effect refers to the ability to alter the force of muscle contractions, such as in the heart. A positive inotropic effect increases contractility, while a negative inotropic effect decreases it. On the other hand, a chronotropic effect refers to the ability to alter the heart rate. A positive chronotropic effect increases heart rate, while a negative chronotropic effect decreases it.


Do beta blockers produce a negative chronotropic effect?

Yes, beta blockers produce a negative chronotropic effect, meaning they decrease the heart rate. They achieve this by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors, which reduces the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline on the heart. As a result, beta blockers are often used to manage conditions like hypertension and certain arrhythmias, as well as to reduce heart rate during stress or exercise.
