The scientists are trying to fight the arterial hypertension, therefore, there are many of the drugs designed for treatment of this disease. The patient can choose the drug depending only on disease and health state. One of the most effective and popular drugs for arterial hypertension treatment is Atenolol.
Clinical researches have proved the high values of the drug effectiveness. Atenolol is a selective beta-adrenoreceptor blocker in the muscular walls of the heart resulting in low pulsation, reduces myocardial contractility leading to decrease in requirement of myocardial oxygen, thence, in reduction of stenocardia attacks. It renders antiarrhythmic action, due to reduction sinus rhythm, decrease in myocardial excitability and AV-conductivity delay. After Atenolol taking, the risk of hypertensive crises and other cardiovascular diseases decreases in the patient.
Also it has been revealed that after Atenolol use, the number of the survived patients after heart attack is increased, the drug reduces frequency of ventricular arrhythmia and stenocardia development. If administered in standard therapeutic doses, the drug has less expressed effect on: pancreas, skeletal muscles, smooth muscles of peripheral arteries, bronchial tubes and uterus. The safety of the drug is increased.
