Abstract excerpt
Beta1-adrenergic receptor polymorphisms have been implicated with inconsistent results in the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF). The impact of 2 functional polymorphisms (beta1-Arg389Gly and beta1-Ser49Gly) on HF susceptibility, arrhythmogenesis, and prognosis was evaluated in Brazilian outpatients. Genotyping at codons 389 and 49 was performed using polymerase...
