Best Answer

Norepinephrine causes peripheral blood vessels to narrow while making coronary arteries dilate. It also increases the strength of heart beats. It can be used in cases of dangerously low blood pressure, such as during a myocardial infarction. Of course, excessive amounts of norepinephrine can cause hypertension and other problems, so it should only be taken while appropriately supervised.
