Description:
Recent studies have reported that dopamine at low concentrations has chronotropic as well as inotropic effects on the heart. The resulting increases in cardiac contractility and heart rate have been reported to increase cardiac output, increase mean arterial blood pressure and decrease central venous pressure. However, how dopamine affects lymphatic pump has yet to be studied thoroughly.
