Abstract excerpt
The release of excessive amounts of catecholamine by pheochromocytoma-paragangliomas (PPGL) can lead to life-threatening catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy (CIC). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the beta1 and alpha-2c adrenergic receptors alter myocyte receptor function and enhanced norepinephrine release. We tested the hypothesis that such genetic variations may impact the risk of developing CIC in the...
