Beta-blockers are useful for people, without high blood pressure, that are myocardial infarction convalescent? Yes Beta blockers: 1. Lower the heart rate 2. Lower the heart's oxygen consumption (reduce demand) 3. Prevent fatal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) 4. Prevent heart rupture 5. Prevent reinfarcts So they are good, even without high BP.. if they are not contra indicated Beta Blockers prevent high blood pressure by keeping the heart rate in a certain range. Some people, without high blood pressure (such as recovering from a heart attack/MI, stress, anxiety, etc) can benefit from the effects of a beta blocker. For someone recovering from an MI, a beta blocker serves as a protective featyre for the heart. Beta blockers are useful in myocardial infarction because apart from reducing blood pressure they decrease the heart rate and reduce the oxygen demand of myocardiun. However if the individual is not hypertensive they may result in hypotension and may precipitate a syncopial attack.Therefore Beta blockers in normotensives must be prescribed only to inpatients and in oupatients under strict medical supervision. Yes, they are used to keep heart rate from getting too high. By doing this they keep myocardial oxygen demand low. |
