Both alpha1A- and alpha1B-adrenoceptor subtypes are present in mammalian myocardium. Alpha1-adrenoceptor activation can enhance myocardial contractility, and two possible inotropic mechanisms are proposed: an increase in myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity and an increase in transsarcolemmal Ca2+ influx during action potential prolongation
