A member asked:
Do you get the same cardio benefits when exercising at the same level but on a beta blocker? since you cant get hr same, but efforts the same
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes you should: as the only difference is your heart is inhibited from raising its stroke volume by increasing the ventricular rate. All the other benefits stay the same, i.e. fat burning, metabolic rate increase, blood vessel wall trimming, blood pressure lowering, etc. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
