A diagram illustrating the effects of Carvedilol and Metoprolol. Both agents block sympathetic input to the heart, reducing cardiac sympathetic tone, thereby lowering HR. Carvedilol also blocks sympathetic input to the vasculature, reducing sympathetic tone in the blood vessels, leading to vasodilation.
