Changes in Adrenoceptor and GRK Expression in Patients With Chronic Pulmonary Regurgitation.

2019

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) is a frequent complication after repair of congenital heart disease. Lymphocyte expression of adrenoceptors (β1 and β2) and kinases (GRK2, GRK3, and GRK5) reflects the neurohumoral changes that occur in heart failure (HF). The main objective of this study was to describe the gene expression of these molecules in circulating lymphocytes in patients with severe PR. METHODS A prospective study was conducted to analyze lymphocyte expression of these molecules in patients with severe PR and compare it with expression in healthy controls and patients with advanced HF. RESULTS We studied 35 patients with severe PR, 22 healthy controls, and 1…

Cambios en la expresión de adrenoceptores y GRK en pacientes con insuficiencia pulmonar valvular crónica

2019

Resumen Introduccion y objetivos La insuficiencia pulmonar (IP) es una complicacion frecuente tras la intervencion de cardiopatias congenitas. La expresion en leucocitos mononucleares circulantes (LMC) de los adrenoceptores (β1 y β2) y de las cinasas (GRK2, GRK3 y GRK5) refleja los cambios neurohumorales que se producen en la insuficiencia cardiaca (IC). El objetivo principal es describir la expresion genica de dichas moleculas en LMC de pacientes con IP grave. Metodos Estudio prospectivo que analizo la expresion de las moleculas descritas en LMC de pacientes con IP grave en comparacion con controles sanos y pacientes con IC avanzada. Resultados Se estudio a 35 pacientes con IP grave, 22 co…
