Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beta1-selective blockers primarily block beta1 receptors on the heart, which decreases heart rate and contractility without affecting beta2 receptors in other areas of the body. Beta2 blockade can lead to bronchoconstriction, impaired insulin release, and reflex orthostatic changes, but these are less likely with a beta1-selective blocker. Dysrhythmias are not specifically tied to non-selectivity of beta blockers, but can occur with any beta blocker. Decreased triglycerides and cholesterol are more related to individual drug characteristics rather than selectivity.
