Blockade of cardiac beta1 receptors can produce bradycardia and AV heart block, as well as de-press cardiac function. Beta blockers would be contraindicated for patients with existing AV heart block, sinus bradycardia, or cardiogenic shock.

Adrenergic agonists and anticholinergic agonists do not exacerbate heart problems.
