Uses/ effects
Norepinephrine   Levophed   Intense vasoconstriction causes reflex bradycardia which overwhelms weak B1 cardiostimulatory effects.  
🗑
Isoproterenol   Isuprel   Stimulates heart more than epinephrine due to direct effects and response to decreased mean arterial pressure.  
🗑
Dopamine   Intropin   B1 effects: increased contractility & systolic pressure, less effect on rate than isoproterenol. Causes indirect release of norepinephrine which is offset by inhibition of norepinephrine release via presynaptic dopamine receptors.  
🗑
Phenylephrine   Neo-Synephrine   Decreased HR (reflex increase mean arterial pressure) Treats paroxysal supraventricular tachycardia.  
🗑
Metaproternol   Alupent   Few cardiac effects due to lack of affinity for B1 receptors.  
🗑
