Application Number:14/014,169
Claims:1. A method for increasing coronary blood flow in a mammal in need thereof comprising administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound that is ##STR00004## wherein the pharmaceutically effective amount is about 0.3 to 103 .mu.g/kg, and wherein the administration causes an increase in peripheral blood flow that is less than 50% of the increase in coronary blood flow.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the dose of the compound is 30 .mu.g/kg.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of administering the pharmaceutically effective amount of the compound takes place by infusion of a pharmaceutically acceptable composition thereof.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of administering the pharmaceutically effective amount of the compound takes place by a bolus injection of a pharmaceutically acceptable composition thereof.
