Beta blockers are used in the treatment of high blood pressure — or hypertension. Some beta-blockers are also used to relieve angina and, in heart attack patients, to help prevent additional heart attacks. “Clot busters” are used to dissolve blood clots that have formed in certain vessels. These medicines are used primarily when a blood clot seriously lessens the flow of blood to certain parts of the body.
