Beta blockerbutaxolol

Acting acebutalol

ExclusivelyEsmolol

At  atenolol

Myocardiummetaprolol

Effects Produced by Alpha blockers

Most important effects are of CVS effects

 No significant direct cardiac effects are produced by them

 They cause baroreflex mediated tachycardia (reflex activated
due to decrease of arterial pressure)

Epinephrine reversal phenomena

Blood Pressure effect of Epinephrine

 Increase of Blood Pressure occurs (alpha mediated more alpha

1) (Presser effect)

 Because epinephrine act both on alpha and beta
But effect of alpha is more so increase B.P occurs

But if Person is on Alpha Blockers and we gave him epinephrine
then

 Decrease of Blood Pressure occurs (Beta mediated as alpha are
on Block) (depressor effect)

Effects

A  Alpha C  Vasoconstriction

B  Beta D  Vasodilation
