Carvedilol improves uptake-1 in patients with systolic congestive heart failure.

abstract：:In anesthetized and ventilated guinea pigs, intravenous injection of ET-1, ET-2, or ET-3 induced similar rapid and dose-related increases in pulmonary inflation pressure (PIP) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP). Indomethacin inhibited the increase in PIP evoked by ET-1, ET-2, or ET-3, whereas the changes in MABP ...
