How does phenylephrine decrease venous return to the heart?
In one of the Uworld question explanations, it says phenylephrine vasoconstricts, which decreases cardiac output and increasing venous return.
Shouldn't it increase venous return to the heart since the alpha 1 agonist works as a vaso and veno constrictor? Thanks in advance.
