Adrenergic signaling in heart failure and cardiovascular aging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Both cardiovascular disease and aging are associated with changes in the sympathetic nervous system. Indeed, mounting evidence indicates that adrenergic receptors are functionally involved in numerous processes underlying both aging and cardiovascular disorders, in particular heart failure. This article will review the pathophysiological role of the sympathetic nervous system in heart failure and cardiovascular aging.

β-adrenergic receptor responsiveness in aging heart and clinical implications
Elderly healthy individuals have a reduced exercise tolerance and a decreased left ventricle inotropic reserve related to increased vascular afterload, arterial-ventricular load mismatching, physical deconditioning and impaired autonomic regulation (the so called "β-adrenergic desensitization"). Adrenergic responsiveness is altered with aging and the age-related changes are limited to the β-adr...
متن کاملFatty old hearts: role of cardiac lipotoxicity in age-related cardiomyopathy
Age-related cardiomyopathy accounts for a significant part of heart failure cases. Imbalance of the energetic equilibrium of the heart along with mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired β-adrenergic receptor signaling contributes in the aggravation of cardiac function in the elderly. In this review article, studies that correlate cardiac aging with lipotoxicity are summarized. The involvement of...
متن کاملSympathetic neuronal regulation of the heart in aging and heart failure.
The documentation of preferential activation of the cardiac sympathetic outflow in patients with heart failure swept aside an entrenched notion that there was a functional sympathetic denervation of the failing heart and provided a theoretical basis for the clinical evaluation of beta-adrenergic blocker therapy in this condition. The demonstration that heightened sympathetic nervous system acti...
متن کاملAdrenergic signaling polymorphisms and their impact on cardiovascular disease.
This review examines the impact of recent discoveries defining personal genetics of adrenergic signaling polymorphisms on scientific discovery and medical practice related to cardiovascular diseases. The adrenergic system is the major regulator of minute-by-minute cardiovascular function. Inhibition of adrenergic signaling with pharmacological beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists (beta-blockers...
متن کاملNetwork integration of the adrenergic system in cardiac hypertrophy.
Adrenergic receptors play a pivotal role in regulating cardiac function in response to a constantly changing environment. Altered alpha and beta adrenergic receptor signaling in vivo is associated with cardiac hypertrophy and failure. This review focuses on the different roles of adrenergic receptors in regulating cardiac function under normal and pathological conditions. Understanding the sign...
