dopamine
coronary vasoconstriction
Although the existence of an acute pericarditis or an acute myocarditis as possible causes of the ST elevation can not be fully ruled out , the sudden onset , prominent magnitude , and brief duration of the ST elevation are perhaps more indicative of an acute ischemic event , possibly related to a transient coronary vasoconstriction induced by the dopamine infusion .
