Carvedilol is a combined beta-1, beta-2, and alpha-1 blocker. It is primarily used for the treatment of congestive heart failure, as the beta-1 and beta-2 blockade slow the heart down and prevent arrythmias, while the alpha-1 blockade lowers peripheral resistance such that the heart does not have to work so hard to get blood out.
