Bradley Cooper or Brad Pitt
What happens to your heart and lungs if you met them?
Brad has one heart and two lungs
Seeing Bradley increases the heart rate 
Blocking Bradley decreases the heart rate 
Brad has 1 heart, 1 pair of kidneys, 2 lungs Beta 1 receptors located on heart and kidneys. Beta 2 receptors located on lungs 
Push buttons to make the heart beat faster 
Slow down the heart by blocking the heart receptors (beta receptors) 
Treart abnormal heart rhythms
Beta receptors belong to sympathetic nervous system Felt sympathetic for Brad's breakup
Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) increases heart rate
SNS increases blood pressure
SNS increases heart contractions
SNS causes brondilation
SNS increases blood glucose
Epinephrine and norepinephrine work on beta receptors
Beta blockers block beta receptors
Beta 1 receptors found in heart
Beta 1 receptors found in kidneys
Beta 1 receptors increase heart work load Brad Pitt has one heart. Seeing Brad Pitt would make my heart race. If you block my view of Brad, my heart rate would decrease.
Beta blockers decrease renin release
Beta blockers widen blood vessels (vasodilation). The opposite is vasoconstriction.
Beta blocker less effective for high blood pressure than diuretics or RAAS meds
Blocked beta receptors indirectly reduces open L-type calcium channels
Blocked beta receptors impact the calcium entering at action potential phase 4
Decreases the SA node fire rate
Decreases conduction velocity in AV node
Beta blocker extends ECG PR interval
PR interval time between atrial depolarization and ventricle repolarization
Beta blockers treat supraventricular tachycardia
Supraventricular tachycardia includes atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter
