Six weeks after the first admission the echocardiogram showed a complete recovery to normal left ventricular function. Conclusions: To our knowledge this is the first reported case of an overdose of Venlafaxine (...
The catecholamines interact with the B1 receptors, leading to increased cardiac automaticity and conduction velocity, as well as renin release resulting in an elevated blood pressure. On the other hand, binding to B2 receptors induces smooth muscle relaxation and metabolic effects such as glycogen...
