Beta-blockers are medications that reduce cardiac output by lowering sympathetic responses. They work by blocking the effects of adrenaline on beta-adrenergic receptors, leading to decreased heart rate and contractility. This results in reduced cardiac output and is often used to manage conditions such as hypertension and heart failure.

Which type of muscle is the heart made of?
cardiac
Is metoprolol an inotropic agent?
Yes, metoprolol is a beta-adrenergic receptor blocker. It blocks the beta version of adrenaline from attaching and sending signals to the cardiac tissue lowering pulse rate, stroke volume, and stroke force.
What is the contraindication of salbutamol?
