Favorite Answer

Isoproterenol increases cardiac oxygen demand by its positive chronotropic and inotropic effects. Potentially very bad if the person has coronary artery disease--which you may or may not know during a code. Isoproterenol is actually used in animal models to help induce/worsen cardiac ischemia.
