Popis: The effect of isoprenaline infusion (1 gamma/min) on blood flow in the extremities was studied in 15 Raynaud's disease (RD) patients and 9 healthy controls. A highly significant (P less than 0.0005) decrease in blood flow was seen in the RD subjects. It is suggested that an increased presynaptic beta receptor response to cold and emotional stimulus may be involved in the physiopathogenesis of RD.
