====Vasculature====
====Vasculature====
The predominant receptor subtype present in blood vessels is the α1-adrenergic receptor, activation of which by catecholamine binding causes activation of the phospholipase-C (PLC), inositol triphosphate (IP3), diacylglycerol (DAG) intracellular signalling pathway. This ultimately results in myocyte contraction, vasoconstriction and consequent increases in systemic blood pressure.

====Heart====
Although the heart is myogenic, that is the impetus for contraction is self-initiated, the output of the heart is influenced by the central nervous system. The net effect of the sympathetic system on the heart is to increase cardiac output. The adrenergic receptors found in the heart belong to the β-receptor subfamily and include β1 and β3 receptors. Catecholamine binding to β1-receptors in the heart causes increases in cardiac output via a number of mechanisms: positive chronotropic effects, positive inotropic effects increased automaticity and conduction in both ventricular myocytes and the atrioventricular (AV) node. However β3-receptor activation antagonises these actions, producing a negative inotropic effect and providing an inbuilt control system within the heart.
Although the heart is myogenic, that is the impetus for contraction is self-initiated, the output of the heart is influenced by the central nervous system. The net effect of the sympathetic system on the heart is to increase cardiac output. The adrenergic receptors found in the heart belong to the ß-receptor subfamily and include ß1 and ß3 receptors. Catecholamine binding to ß1-receptors in the heart causes increases in cardiac output via a number of mechanisms: positive chronotropic effects, positive inotropic effects increased automaticity and conduction in both ventricular myocytes and the atrioventricular (AV) node. However ß3-receptor activation antagonises these actions, producing a negative inotropic effect and providing an inbuilt control system within the heart.


Prolonged increase catecholamine levels in the circulation (e.g. when secreted from adrenal tumours or times of stress) can lead to chronic cardiovascular problems such as hypertension and arrhythmias.
