Abstract

Chronic catecholamine production is associated with desensitisation and down-regulation of adrenergic receptors and occurs in conditions, such as heart failure and myocardial infarction. The effects of further acute adrenergic stimulation, which may occur during exercise, and their subsequent effects on chemosensitivity and ventilation are unclear. Chronic isoprenaline (ISO) increased ventilation by 50 % (P
