  • Title: Hypotensive mechanisms of beta blockers.
    Author: Conway J.
    Journal: Eur Heart J; 1983 Jul; 4 Suppl D():43-51. PubMed ID: 6137382.
    Abstract:
    A review of the available evidence suggests that the antihypertensive action of beta blockers depends partly upon a reduction in plasma renin activity. Since there are abnormalities of cardiac function in hypertension the reduction in cardiac output and heart rate may also contribute to the fall in blood pressure.
