  1. beta-adrenergic blocking agent

    A beta-adrenergic blocking agent, also referred to as a beta-blocker, is a type of medication primarily used to treat cardiovascular conditions. These agents work by blocking the action of epinephrine (adrenaline) on beta-adrenergic receptors, which results in decreased heart rate, blood pressure, and workload on the heart. They are commonly used for conditions such as angina, heart failure, high blood pressure, arrhythmias, and after heart attacks.
