How does Valium affect cardiovascular functions, including heart rate and blood pressure, during therapeutic use or overdose?
1. Valium typically slows heart rate and may lower blood pressure, reflecting its role as a CNS depressant.
2. In therapeutic doses, Valium can cause minor decreases in blood pressure and heart rate.
3. During an overdose, Valium may lead to significant hypotension and bradycardia, requiring medical intervention.
Valium (diazepam) typically lowers blood pressure and can decrease heart rate, creating a calming effect on the cardiovascular system during therapeutic use.
