Definitely chronotropic - dsauverwald Posted: Nov 4th, 2009 - 11:17 pm In Reply to: Don't you mean inotrophic medication? - Answers
Chronotropic drugs may change the heart rate by affecting the nerves controlling the heart, or by changing the rhythm produced by the sinoatrial node. Positive chronotropes increase heart rate; however, negative chronotropes decrease heart rate.
Examples of chronotropes:
Atropine
Dopamine
Dobutamine
Epinephrine
Isuprel
So, this is definitely a word!!!!!
