Abstract
The major pathologic beta(1)-adrenergic receptor (beta(1)-AR) subtype in heart failure is beta(1)-AR. The authors' laboratory has thus pursued genetic variation of the beta(1)-AR gene at the molecular, cellular, physiologic, and clinical levels as the potential basis for interindividual variability in the response to beta-blocker treatment during heart failure. This article reviews these findings, with emphasis on mechanism of action and future directions.Entities:
