Question:

How is membrane stabilizing effect of beta blockers?

Author: H K



Answer:

Some beta blockers increase AP duration and refractory period thus exert Na+ channel blocking effect at high doses, decrease automaticity and conduction velocity and increase refractoriness thus membrane stabilizing effect. They diminish phase IV depolarization, depress automaticity prolong AV conduction and decrease HR and contractility
