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.
心力衰竭中主要的病理性β1-肾上腺素能受体(β1-AR)亚型为β1-AR。因此,作者实验室在分子、细胞、生理和临床水平上研究β1-AR 基因的遗传变异,作为心力衰竭时β受体阻滞剂治疗反应个体差异的潜在基础。本文综述了这些发现,重点讨论了作用机制和未来方向。
