| Autonomic neurotransmission in the heart |
| Habecker |
| Neurotransmission in the autonomic nervous system differs in some ways from
the neuromuscular junction, e.g. in the importance of “volume” transmission, the
spectrum of receptors and the variety of co-transmitters. This session will briefly
overview autonomic transmission and discuss polymorphisms in adrenergic receptors
that alter the response to norepinephrine and modulate the risk for cardiac disease. |
