Treatment of some heart rhythm disorders: Beta-blockers control irregular heart rhythm in people with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Beta-blocker works with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, for example, Altace (ramipril), and in many cases, an aldosterone inhibitor. Treatment of heart failure: Beta-blockers improve life expectancy in people with heart failure caused by impaired contraction of the left ventricle (the main pump chamber of the heart).Treatment of angina: By reducing the heart rate, beta blockers are used as first-line treatment in people with angina, either alone or in combination with a calcium channel blocker.
