Dysfunctional β-Adrenergic Signalling in Heart Failure: Impact on Cellular Calcium Homeostasis and Role as a Therapeutic Target
When you exercise or are frightened your heart pumps much harder due to the release of certain chemicals in the body. In heart diseases such as heart failure the muscle cells in the heart which are responsible for the pumping of blood fail to work harder when exposed to these chemicals. This research will study the reasons why the muscle cells of the heart do not respond properly to these chemicals, and how certain treatments used in heart failure affect heart cells.
