Endothelin in congestive heart failure.

abstract：:Using isolated canine small (right coronary branch, left coronary branch; o. d. 0.4-0.8 mm) and large (left coronary, circumflex; o. d. 1-2 mm) coronary arteries, the beta-adrenergic antagonist dl-propranolol (5 X 10(-7) to 5 X 10(-5) m/l) was found to produce concentration-dependent contractions. Interestingly, most ...
