Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of adrenergic receptor polymorphisms on the response of myocardium to measured levels of cardiac adrenergic drive, and to evaluate whether polymorphisms of presynaptic adrenoceptors modified the rate of cardiac and systemic release of norepinephrine. BACKGROUND: Heightened sympathetic activity plays an important pathophysiologic role in congestive...
