In part 1 of the review we discussed the structure and function of the various vasopressin receptors. In part 2 we discuss vascular smooth muscle contraction pathways with an emphasis on the effects of vasopressin on ATP-sensitive K channels nitric oxide pathways and interaction with adrenergic agents. We explore the complex and contradictory studies of vasopressin on cardiac inotropy and coronary vascular tone. Finally we summarize the clinical studies of vasopressin in shock states which to date have been relatively small and have focused on physiologic outcomes. Because of potential adverse effects of vasopressin clinical use of vasopressin in vasodilatory shock should await a randomized controlled trial of the effect of vasopressin s effect on outcomes such as organ failure and mortality.
