If you branch from vasodilation to vasodilator you end up in the same article! That doesn't make sense. -- Werfur ( talk) 17:34, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
How about a definition? Is this a chemical? A machine? A technique or a procedure? What is it?
Vasodilators family includes: alpha-blockers, nitrates, ACE/ARB, Calcium Chanel Blocker & Hydralazine.

Why Adenosine, mentioned in the table as an example of Calcium Chanel Blocker?
A correct example should be Amlodipine ערן אהרון ( talk) 12:43, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
"Vasodilation" is a common misspelling or typo for: vasodilatation. Should this page be moved? http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/va/vasodilation.html -- Africantearoa ( talk) 06:52, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
-ate. Dilatate (= twice broaden) should therefore be the corresponding verb. Shemer77 ( talk) 17:42, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
Vasodilators are synthetic or endogenous chemicals that act ultimately on the smooth muscle component of the vasculature and cause it to relax, which in medical terms translates to :
1. Increased caliber of arteries/veins
2. Lower blood pressure
3. Increased perfusion of target tissues
Cannabis is listed as a vasoconstrictor and a vasodialator, this doesn't seem to make sense
I am just wondering what the difference is between antihypertensive agents and peripheral vasodilators. They both seem to be the same thing to me. Bassplaya ( talk) 00:11, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Being really picky here I know but..
"Adrenergic stimulation results in elevated levels of cAMP and protein kinase A, which results in increasing calcium removal from the cytoplasm. "
Seeing as the vast majority of calcium is removed to the SERCA, which is cytoplasmic, wouldn't removal from cytosol be more accurate?

Could someone clarify vaso vs venodilator?
From what I understand, venodilators (dilate veins) decrease preload and vasodilators (dilate arteries?) decrease afterload. From this article it seems that venous dilation is part of vasodilation, but is that really true?
Some drugs are known as venodilators (nitroglycerin) whereas some drugs are known as vasodilators (hydralazine). -- 24.149.255.225 ( talk) 21:46, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
There is a need to add the hsp20 pathway of force suppression and vasodilation by cyclic nucleotide-dependent vasodilators. Hsp20 phosphorylation closely correlates with vasodilation. Regards GetAgrippa ( talk) 01:37, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
Too many large paragraphs, too many lists, feel like cleaning?
(mainly the arterioles[citation needed])
Can anyone provide a reference for the assertion above? It sounds weird vasodilators only work on arterioles. -- It's gonna be awesome!✎ Talk♬ 05:17, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
