Abstract

BACKGROUND There is a long-standing debate about the role of beta-adrenoceptor polymorphisms in the cardiovascular system. We wanted to elucidate whether β1-adrenoceptor-polymorphisms affects the postoperative catecholamine consumption and the length of intermediate care unit stay in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and whether this might be enhanced or attenuated by catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT) polymorphism. MATERIAL AND METHODS We included 116 patients (63±1.2 years; 34% females; 81±1 kg) undergoing cardiac surgery. We assessed Arg389Gly and Ser49Gly-β1-adrenoceptor (B1AR) polymorphism together with Val158Met-COMT polymorphism by real-time PCR using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (PCR-FRET). The preoperative risk was assessed by EuroSCORE. In addition, we measured the endogenous preoperative epinephrine and norepinephrine plasma concentrations using an electrochemical HPLC method. RESULTS 84.6% were homozygous for Ser49Ser, 52.1% homozygous for Arg389Arg B1AR, and 32.5% for Val158Val-COMT, while 15.4% showed Ser49Gly B1AR, 38.5% Arg389Gly-B1AR, and 35.6% Val158Met-COMT. We found that the Gly49-variant, the Gly389-variant, and the Val158-COMT-variant were associated with higher postoperative norepinephrine ...Continue Reading
