More about dobutamine
*
Dobutamine is a racemate; the (+) isomer produces the beta-1 effect (positive-chronotropic), but minimal cardioacceleration occurs because the (-) isomer is an alpha agonist, which tends to prevent the chronotropic effect (cardioacceleration)
*
The result is that cardiac output is increased with minimal increase in heart rate.
