The potentially adverse action of the released catecholamines on cardiovascular function in the patient with clinically significant heart or blood vessel disease warrants the inclusion of vasoconstrictors in the local anesthetic solution.Without adequate control of pain,sedation and stress reduction are impossible to achieve;however,use of local anesthetic plus a vasoconstrictor will help to ensure adequate pain control.

Both statements are true. The first statement correctly identifies the potential adverse effects of catecholamines on patients with cardiovascular disease, justifying the use of vasoconstrictors in local anesthetics to mitigate these effects. The second statement accurately describes the necessity of pain control through the use of local anesthetics with vasoconstrictors for achieving sedation and stress reduction.
