Remodeling of the cardiac pacemaker L-type calcium current and its beta-adrenergic responsiveness in hypertension after neuronal NO synthase gene transfer.
Hypertension is associated with abnormal neurohumoral activation. We tested the hypothesis that beta-adrenergic hyperresponsiveness in the sinoatrial node (SAN) of the spontaneously hypertensive rat occurs at the level of the L-type calcium current because of altered cyclic nucleotide-dependent sign...
