Bisoprolol is beneficial in treatment for: high blood pressure (hypertension), reduced blood flow to the heart (cardiac ischemia); congestive heart failure, preventative treatment before and primary treatment after heart attacks decreasing the chances of recurrence. During hypertension there is an elevated blood pressure, which is what bisoprolol targets. While in cardiac ischemia the drug is used to reduce the activity of the heart muscle and therefore reduce oxygen and nutrient demand, so reduced blood supply can still transport sufficient amounts of oxygen and nutrients.
