Atenolol is a member of the beta blocker family of medications. The beta blockers relax blood vessels, allowing them to widen enough to accommodate enough blood, lowering strain upon the heart and reducing blood pressure. This can prevent the heart from failing (CHF). It may also help prevent strokes, pain from the heart (angina), and irregular heartbeats (dysrhythmias), and is sometimes given to treat migraine attacks.
