Abstract
Patients suffering from or susceptible to conditions of the vascular or circulatory system, particularly the microvasculature, which conditions are associated with decreased blood flow in regions of microcirculation (e.g., Raynaud's disease and Raynaud's phenomenon) are treated with pharmaceutical compositions incorporating an effective amount of an aryl substituted olefinic amine compound. The compounds incorporated into the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention exhibit selective activity of to the .beta.2-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and thereby yield beneficial therapeutic effects increasing vascular blood flow in regions of microcirculation.
