Beta blockers are medications that antagonise beta-adrenergic receptors, reducing heart rate, myocardial contractility, and sympathetic nervous system activity. They are essential in managing hypertension, arrhythmias, and heart failure by decreasing cardiac workload and oxygen demand. A key consideration is their potential to cause bronchospasm, especially in asthmatic patients.
