beta-blockers

[shaz29]

Yes, 40 is a little low for a normal person not on beta-blockers. Is it a true 40? Take your pulse for a full 60 seconds. If you do not become light-headed upon standing, then I would not worry about it because your stroke volume is adequate to perfuse the big nerve in your head. Of course, if you are worried call your doctor, etc.

Its not a true 40.. its in the 40's... anyway what do u mean by a stroke volume??

What is a low dose?

10mg a day

they use beta-1 blockers to help control the heart rates of experimental test subjects taking high dose clenbuterol. the b-1 blockers help prevent arythmias and palpitations.

Cardiac Output = Stroke volume X heart rate

Stroke volume is the amount of blood your heart pumps out of the left ventricle in one beat. Normal is around 70 ml.

Thats the theroy behind it but little success is obtained when contolling palpatations and arythmias. they can help control the rate of some but not the acutal dysrythmia itself.
