Abstract excerpt
Association studies suggest beta(1)-adrenergic receptor (beta(1)-AR) polymorphisms are disease modifiers in heart failure. The Arg389 variant has increased coupling to G(s) in transfected cells and evokes enhanced ventricular function in transgenic mice. Here, we assessed the differential effects of the human Gly389 and Arg389 beta(1)-AR polymorphisms on myocardial recovery after ischemic injury. Function was...
