What Is the Role of β-Adrenergic Signaling in Heart Failure?

Lohse, Martin J., Engelhardt, Stefan, Eschenhagen, Thomas·2003·Circulation Research

Abstract

This review addresses open questions about the role of β-adrenergic receptors in cardiac function and failure. Cardiomyocytes express all three β-adrenergic receptor subtypes—β 1 , β 2 , and, at least in some species, β 3 . The β 1 subtype is the most prominent one and is mainly responsible for positive chronotropic and inotropic effects of catecholamines. The β 2 subtype also increases cardiac function, but its ability to activate nonclassical signaling pathways suggests a function distinct from the β 1 subtype. In heart failure, the sympathetic system is activated, cardiac β-receptor number and function are decreased, and downstream mechanisms are altered. However, in spite of a wealth of data, we still do not know whether and to what extent these alterations are adaptive/protective or detrimental, or both. Clinically, β-adrenergic antagonists represent the most important advance in heart failure therapy, but it is still debated whether they act by blocking or by resensitizing the β-adrenergic receptor system. Newer experimental therapeutic strategies aim at the receptor desensitization machinery and at downstream signaling steps.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
