“After desipramine , cardiac responsiveness to epinephrine was markedly enhanced, although more (P < 0.01) in young vs. older subjects for heart rate and cardiac index (+14 vs. 7 beats/min and +1.6 vs. 1.1 l.min(-1).m(-2), respectively, at 20 ng.kg(-1).min(-1)).”
“Combined with desipramine and trimetaphan, cardiac responses to epinephrine were further enhanced, again more (P < 0.01) in young subjects, resulting in large differences in heart rate and ejection fraction increases (+29 vs. 17 beats/min and +14 vs. 7%, respectively, at 20 ng.kg(-1).min(-1)).”
