Beta blockers reduce the release of renin by blockade of beta₁ receptors on juxtaglomerular cells in the kidney, which reduce angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction, but do not block the actions of angiotensin II directly. Beta blockers decrease heart rate and cardiac contractility, decrease peripheral vascular resistance, and decrease the release of renin.
