Negative Chronotropic

Negative chronotropic activity is a type of medicinal activity that affects the heart rate. It is the process by which certain medications decrease the rate at which the heart beats. This type of activity is used to treat conditions where the heart rate is too high, such as tachycardia or arrhythmia. The most common drugs that have this type of activity are beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and digitalis. These medications work by blocking certain receptors in the heart, which causes the heart rate to slow down. In addition to decreasing the heart rate, these medications can also reduce the force of each heartbeat, leading to a decrease in blood pressure.
