Direct-acting sympathomimetics: catecholamines

Epinephrine
alpha1 vasoconstriction
B1 intropic, chronotropic, dromotropic
B2 vasodilation, drop in diastolic
Direct-acting sympathomimetics: catecholamines

Norepinephrine
a1: potent vasoconstrictor
B1: same as epi, but inotropic effect prodominates because vagal reflex compensates for chrono and dromotropic effects
B2: no effect, leading to net vasoconstriction, increased TPR, and rise in systolic and diastolic pressure
Direct-acting sympathomimetics: catecholamines

isoproterenol
B1: same as epi; B1 dominates => increase in pulse pressure
a1: no effect
B2: same as epi => decrease in diastolic pressure
