Fifty-six of the participants were prescribed agents with
beta-blocking activity.
These
beta-blocking drugs are typically prescribed to reduce heart rate and blood pressure, but have also been shown to help people with stage fright, such as actors and musicians.
In addition to its
beta-blocking ability, carvedilol and its derivatives have also been shown to suppress SOICR in HEK293 cell model by directly blocking the RYR2 [19, 20].
Let us say we are investigating the effect of a new
beta-blocking drug and consider that the minimum difference that would make the drug worthwhile is a reduction in heart rate (HR) [greater than or equal to] 10 beats per minute (bpm).
Beta-blocking drugs can lower the mother's high blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke or haemorrhage, while anti-convulsant drugs may be prescribed to ward off fits.
The criteria included giving cardiac patients aspirin when they arrive at hospitals, prescribing
beta-blocking medication when they are discharged, and prescribing antibiotics for pneumonia patients within six hours of arrival.
Overall, 1,310 patients (39%) had COPD, including 462 (35%) who were treated with a cardioselective
beta-blocking agent, the authors note.
Beta-blocking drugs such as carvedilol reduce the heart's workload by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors on cells.
If treatment is truly necessary, you might try a
beta-blocking drug like Inderal.
