receptor.

= decreased HR, contractility, bp, & oxygen demand
hig
* Decreased HR and contractility r/t slower AV conduction system & prolonged the

refractory period
fly
*Decreased BP r/t decreased cardiac output

*Slows renin release due to decreased sympathetic peripheral outflow (carteolol, labetolol,
and pindolol do not consistently inhibit renin release)
