Etymology
The word atenolol ends with the drug ending -olol, the same ending in heart medicines like propranolol. A helpful way to remember it is that medicines with -olol are 'beta blockers' that 'block' the heart's response to stress hormones, so they slow the heart and help lower blood pressure.
