AB Vasoconstrictors  comprise  a  class  of  endogenous  compounds  and  vasopressor  drugs  which  increase  arterial  blood  pressure  by  two  mechanisms:  (1)  increasing  systemic  vascular  resistance  (SVR)  in  the  high  resistance,  low  capacitance  arteries  and  arterioles,  and  (2)  increasing  venous  pressure  and  preload  in  the  low  resistance,  high  capacitance  veins  and  venules  (Table  169-1).
