-====Mechanism of Action====
-'''Hypertension''': The mechanism of the antihypertensive effects of [[beta-blocking agent]]s has not been elucidated. However, several possible mechanisms have been proposed: (1) competitive [[antagonism]] of [[catecholamine]]s at peripheral (especially cardiac) adrenergic neuron sites, leading to decreased [[cardiac output]]; (2) a central effect leading to reduced sympathetic outflow to the periphery; and (3) suppression of [[renin]] activity.
-'''Heart Failure''': The precise mechanism for the beneficial effects of [[beta-blocker]]s in [[heart failure]] has not been elucidated.
