Inotropy means increased myocardial contractility
Chronotropy means increased heart rate
Vasopressor means squeezing of the blood vessels
Scott Weingart (reference below) coins a term Inopressor, where some drugs cause all of the above – one such example is epinephrine
Alpha 1 receptors are found in the periphery and are responsible for vasoconstriction
Alpha 2 receptors are in the periphery and are responsible for vasodilation
Beta 1 receptors are primarily in the myocardium and cause ino and chronotropy
Beta 2 receptors are in the lungs and result in bronchodilation
V1 receptors are in the blood vessels
V2 receptors are in the kidneys
