Question Answer
Antiarrhythmic medicaton drug tht strengthens the contractions of the heart muscle slows the heart rate and helps elimate fluid from the body tissue. It is often used to treat congestive heart failure and is also used to treate certain arrhythmias digatalis
antiarrhythmic medications that slow the heart rate decrease cardiac out, lessen the force with which the heart muscle contracts and reduces blood vessel contraction. They do this by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in various parts of the body they are? name two drugs? Beta blockers lopressor and trprol XL
