A

little effect on heart when person at rest, but big effect when sympathetic control of heart is dominant (exercise or stress)

block chronotropic and inotropic actions of catecholamines

block exercise-induced increases in HR and contractility, but cardiac output is less effected due to an increased stroke volume
