Decreasing Heart Activity: By slowing down nerve impulses that stimulate the heart, bisoprolol helps reduce both resting and exercise heart rates.
Reducing Heart Workload: Bisoprolol reduces the amount of work your heart has to do and decreases its oxygen demand while increasing oxygen supply to it. This helps in managing conditions like hypertension and angina pectoris.
