Does not support alpha1-agonist use in patients; leaves open IP3/DAG roles in human cardiac inotropy.
Cardiac alpha 1-adrenoceptor stimulation mediates inotropic effects through the cleavage of PI-4,5-P2, utilizing IP3 for transient calcium mobilization and diacylglycerol for sustained calcium channel potentiation.
