3 Written Questions

1. Relax blood vessels, increase blood & O2 to heart, decrease cardiac workload (side effects - orthostatic HTN, headache)
2. Lower BP & control CHF (Side effects - tachycardia, palpations, orthostatic HTN)
3. Correct irregular heartbeat & Slow overactive heart (side effect - bradycardia, aggravate ventricular arrhythmias)
