psi to kpa pressure units conversion table shows the most common values for the quick reference. Alternatively, you may use the converter below to convert any other values. 1 Psi = 6.89475729 Kilopascals. Psi is defined as 1 pound of force applied per square inch. It is the main pressure unit in united states and widely used in all kinds of applications. 1 pound per square inch (psi) equals to 6 894.75729 pascals. Kilopascal is a metric pressure unit and equals to 1000 force of newton per square meter (pascal). It's used widely although it's replaced by psi (pound force per square inch) in many countries as the primary pressure unit. The abbreviation is kPa.
Beta-blockers are medicines that are used to treat various conditions. These include angina, high blood pressure, some abnormal heart rhythms, heart failure, heart attack (myocardial infarction), anxiety, overactive thyroid symptoms, glaucoma and migraine. Beta-blockers are medicines that are used to treat a variety of conditions. Their full correct name is beta-adrenoceptor blocking medicines, but they are commonly just called beta-blockers. There are several types of beta-blocker.
Alpha blockers work to soothe and calm the muscles. They help in smooth flow of blood by opening the blood vessels. Working of beta blocker drugs is totally different. Instead of having an effect on the muscles, they work to lower the heart rate of a person. Lowering of heart rate has the effect of a corresponding lowering off blood pressure. It is clear then that alpha and beta blockers achieve the same objective through different routes.
