Usage Examples English
  • The dry gangrene is a result of vasoconstriction induced by the ergotamine-ergocristine alkaloids of the fungus.
  • Catecholamines (norepinephrine and epinephrine) increase filtration fraction by vasoconstriction of afferent and efferent arterioles, possibly through activation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors.
  • Peripheral α2 agonist activity results in vasoconstriction of blood vessels (as opposed to central α2 agonist activity that decreases sympathetic tone, as can be seen by the medication clonidine).
  • It has also been used (in conjunction with sodium nitroprusside) successfully as an antidote to reverse the severe peripheral vasoconstriction which can occur as a result of overdose with certain 5-HT2A agonist drugs such as 25I-NBOMe, DOB and Bromodragonfly (prolonged severe vasoconstriction can lead to gangrene if untreated).
  • Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) occurs diffusely, leading to arterial vasoconstriction in all areas of the lung.

  • It is believed that the vasoconstriction caused by thromboxanes plays a role in Prinzmetal's angina.
  • However, high-dose therapy is linked to excessive coronary, splanchnic vasoconstriction, and hypercoagulation.
  • BK channels oppose vasoconstriction in blood vessels resulting in vasorelaxation.
  • The vast majority of decongestants act via enhancing norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline) or adrenergic activity by stimulating the α1-adrenergic receptor since they mediate vasoconstriction and constricting nasal vasculature causes decongestion of nasal mucosa.
  • RCVS is diagnosed by detecting diffuse reversible cerebral vasoconstriction.

  • Nitric oxide is critical to blood vessel function and inhibition leads to an increase in arterial stiffness due to vasoconstriction.
  • As extremities cool, the ‘hunting response of Lewis’ (alternating vasoconstriction and vasodilation) occurs, ending with vasoconstriction.
  • A patient may also experience peripheral vasoconstriction, which makes it difficult for the hospital staff to obtain blood.
  • Vasospastic macules are a skin condition due to localized vasoconstriction and are seen most often in young women.
  • Vasoconstriction occurs first to reduce heat loss, but also results in strong cooling of the extremities.

  • Studies in the 1960s showed that vasoconstriction from 5-HT, ergotamine and noradrenaline could reduce migraine attacks.
  • Aside from its anti-inflammatory effect, terutroban is a selective antagonist of the thromboxane receptor. It blocks thromboxane induced platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction.
