Pindolol: A: Mechanism of Action B: Because of its MOA, it has less _______ effect on the heart.

A

A: B-antagonist with partial agonist activity at both B1 and B2 adrenergic R B: Since some B signal remains (partial agonist), partial agonist have less BRADYCARDIC effect, thus should be used when patients are less tolerant to bradycardic effects.
