Intravenous cardioselective beta 1 antagonist with relatively rapid onset of action (6-10min) and short duration of action (10-20 min) due to its hydrolysis by red cell esterase. No significant intrinsic sympathomimetic or membrane stabilising activity at therapeutic dosages. Although it is beta 1 selective, at higher doses it begins to inhibit beta 2 receptors located chiefly in the bronchial and vascular musculature refl.in/f/esmolol.pdf
