1 As noradrenaline acts in the human heart solely at beta 1-adrenoceptors, while adrenaline activates both beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors with about the same potency, with increasing posttransplant time (and increasing proportion of beta 2-adrenoceptors) adrenaline may play an important role for regulation of contractility and/or heart rate in heart transplant recipients.
