Long QT Syndrome, Cardiac Repolarization
Effect of Beta-blocker Therapy on QTc Response in Exercise and Recovery in Normal Subjects
Background. In congenital long QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1), episodes of ventricular tachycardia are usually triggered by exercise and can be prevented in most patients by beta-blocker therapy.

Pain Measurement
Evaluation of Propranolol's Effect on Pain and Inflammation.
Previous studies have shown that the beta-adrenergic system plays a role in processing pain and the expression of hyperalgesia. Recent studies have investigated the analgesic effects, and potential anti-hyperalgesic effects…
