How does methyldopa affect heart rate, including its influence on bradycardia or tachycardia and what monitoring is required to detect these changes?
Methyldopa lowers heart rate by stimulating central alpha-2 receptors, which can lead to bradycardia. Monitoring includes regular pulse checks and ECG to track heart rate and rhythm.
