Adrenergic Receptor Polymorphism and Maximal Exercise Capacity after Orthotopic Heart Transplantation.

Adrenergic Receptor Polymorphism and Maximal Exercise Capacity after Orthotopic Heart Transplantation.

Maximal exercise capacity after heart transplantion (HTx) is reduced to the 50-70% level of healthy controls when assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) despite of normal left ventricular function of the donor heart. This study investigates the role of donor heart β1 and β2- adrenergic...
