Q

Atenolol

Mechanism of Action

A

Completely blocks stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptor within vascular smooth muscle; produces negative chronotropic activity (decreases rate of SA node discharge, increases recovery time), slows conduction of AV node, decreases heart rate, negative inotropic activity decreases O2 consumption in myocardium; decreases action of renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system at high doses, inhibits Beta2-receptors in bronchial system at higher doses

Q

Isosorbide dinitrate and Isosorbide mononitrate

Functional Classification

A

Antianginal, Vasodilator

17
