target receptor of medication used to treat asthma exacerbation is {{c1::β-2}}

*ex: {{c4::albuterol}} is a {{c1::β-2}} agonist

→ drugs given to treat asthma might cause acute onset of arrhythmia due to {{c2::non selective β activation}}

*specifically, activation {{c3::β-1}} present in heart can also trigger {{c5::tachycardia}}

anti-arrhythmic medications typically target {{c3::β-1}} receptor

*careful with non-selective may worse asthma exacerbation by also targeting β-2 receptors
