New publication in Frontiers in Bioscience about: Anti-ß1-Adrenoreceptor auto-Antibodies in elderly heart failure patients.
Abstract of the article: An autoimmune reaction directed against the cardiac b1-adrenergic receptor (beta1-ADR) leading to the generation of autoantibodies (AA) against this G-coupled receptor has been described in patients with heart failure (HF). Agonist-like beta1-ADR-AA are associated with morbidity in HF patients and even predict mortality. Standardised and valid diagnostic tools to detect beta…
