with regard to catecholamines stimulating effect upon cardiac metabolism as well as to their calorigenic and oxygen wasting effect the raise of mao activity may be regarded as favourable phenomenon , because the hastened degradation of released catecholamines at least to a certain degree diminishes the disproportion between oxygen supply and actual oxygen need of the heart and by means of that mitigates the anoxic damage of myocardium .
