Popis:	Beta-blockers are commonly used medications for cardiovascular diseases. Beta-blockers are effective antiarrhythmic agents, and they are class 2 agents in the Vaughan-Williams classification. In this review, we first attempt to mention the physiology of beta-adrenergic activation in the myocardium and the role of excessive beta-adrenergic activation in arrythmiagenesis. Then, we will summarize the pharmacological properties of beta blockers and their use in specific arrhythmias. Special emphasis will be given to nebivolol, a new generation cardioselective beta-blocker with vasodilator activity, given the limited data regarding its use in arrhythmias.
