Atenolol tablets are indicated for: - Treatment of hypertension, "to lower blood pressure" and reduce the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events such as strokes and myocardial infarctions - Long-term management of patients with angina pectoris - Management of hemodynamically stable patients with definite or suspected acute myocardial infarction, "to reduce cardiovascular mortality."
