Beta1-adrenergic agonist

Introduction

Beta1-adrenergic agonists, also known as Beta1-adrenergic receptor agonists, are a class of drugs that bind selectively to the beta-1 adrenergic receptor. As a result, they act more selectively upon the heart.

Examples

Examples

Examples include denopamine,[1][2] dobutamine, and xamoterol.
