Journal of cardiology.J Cardiol.2017 Jan;69(1):57-65. doi: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2016.09.012. Epub 2016 Nov 15.
The spasm provocation tests of ergonovine and acetylcholine have been employed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Ergonovine acts through the serotogenic receptors, while acetylcholine acts through the muscarinic cholinergic receptors. Different mediators may have the potential to cause diff
