Abstract
A significant association between beta (1)-adrenergic receptor codon 389 ge notype and various hemodynamic parameters is reported for a population with symptoms of ischemic heart disease or other clinical indications for cardi ovascular stress testing. This finding may have important implications with respect to cardiovascular disease and the efficacy of beta blockers, in ca rdiovascular disease.
