Cardio-selective β-adrenoceptor blockade and the coronary circulation

K R Adam, Susan Boyles, P C Scholfield
PMCID: PMC1703183  PMID: 4395746

Abstract

After blockade of myocardial, but not coronary vascular β-adrenoceptors by practolol, cardiac sympathetic stimulation or exogenously administered noradrenaline gave rise to coronary vasoconstriction, possibly due to stimulation of coronary α-adrenoceptors.
