β-adrenergic over-stimulation and cardio-myocyte apoptosis: two receptors, one organelle, two fates?

Neuro-hormonal regulation of cardiac function via cathecol-amines results in increased heart rate and contractility. A persistent adrenergic tone, however, is an insult to the heart, affecting its regular homeostasis, altering morphology and gene expression patterns, as well as inducing apoptosis of...
