Catecholamines facilitated ischaemia-induced VF when risk was low, acting via β - and β - adrenoceptors located in the UZ. There was no scope for facilitation when VF risk was high (large IZ), which may explain why β-blockers have equivocal effectiveness in humans.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
