title: Cardiac adrenergic receptors.
abstract: Recently developed pharmacological and biochemical techniques have brought new insights about the structure, function, and regulation of beta-adrenergic receptors. This chapter focuses on the cardiac beta-adrenergic receptor and the possible clinical and physiological implications of this new information.
