2,3 For both choice of Symptoms of atenolol toxicity may include bradycardia, lethargy, hypotension, respiratory drive disorders, hypothermia, hypoglycemia, and seizures
The β1- selective blocker (atenolol) effectively reduced the orthostatic blood pressure changes in this patient with severe orthostatic hypotension due to diabetic

Atenolol is a beta-blocker that affects the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins)
Also, your health
We also determined the adjusted association of self-reported atenolol use (ascertained at the 1-month visit for indications other than hypertension) on outcomes in

Hypertension is the leading risk factor for mortality worldwide, accounting for 13% of deaths, and a leading cause of disability globally
Atenolol is one of the most widely used beta blockers clinically, and has often been used as a reference drug in randomised controlled trials of hypertension
I used to have a very fast heart rate (110 bpm) and high blood pressure
For this use, the drug is given to reduce the risk of death that’s related to heart or blood A DECREASE OF 20 MM HG SYSTOLIC OR 10 MM HG DIASTOLIC
Low blood pressure is blood pressure low enough to cause symptoms such as dizziness and fainting
Atenolol is a beta1-selective (cardioselective) beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent without membrane stabilizing or intrinsic sympathomimetic (partial agonist) activities
Orthostatic hypotension (OH), defined as a sustained reduction of systolic blood pressure (BP) of at least 20 mmHg, or of diastolic BP of 10 mmHg within 3 minutes of standing or at least 60 degree head up tilt (Freeman et al
Atenolol may cause some animals to become weak due to a slow heart rate or low blood pressure
The half-life of atenolol is about six to seven hours, and therefore may last longer than some metoprolol doses
reduce your risk of heart complications following a heart attack
Intraoperative hypotension is one of the most encountered factors Atenolol is one of the most widely used β blockers clinically, and has often been used as a reference drug in randomised controlled trials of hypertension
This type of low blood pressure is common in older adults
Removing it would also decrease the overall estimate of the pooled atenolol starting dose and twice the starting dose subgroups from ‐13/‐11 mmHg to ‐11/‐9 mmHg, which was closer to the overall estimates of the class
But they can also be used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension)
They are often metabolized by the liver or can be cleared without biotransformation (atenolol)
