Key result
Vasoconstrictors used in acute hypotensive states often provide benefit through cardiac stimulatory action rather than solely from a rise in blood pressure resulting from vasoconstriction.

Clinicians should consider cardiac stimulation when selecting vasoconstrictors for acute hypotension; leaves open whether this mechanism should guide future agent-specific trials.
The clinical benefit of vasoconstrictors in acute hypotensive states may be primarily driven by their cardiac stimulatory effects rather than pure vasoconstriction.
Hodge et al. (1966) conducted a review in Acute hypotensive states. Vasoconstrictors was evaluated. Vasoconstrictors used in acute hypotensive states often provide benefit through cardiac stimulatory action rather than solely from a rise in blood pressure resulting from vasoconstriction.
