Abstract
Continuous infusion of norepinephrine in man caused a rise in pulmonary arteriolar resistance as measured by pulmonary artery-pulmonary wedge pressure differences. Since no change in flow occurred during the procedures, the data suggest active constriction of the pulmonary vascular bed under these circumstances.Keywords
