Multifactorial actions of beta-adrenergic blocking drugs in ischemic heart disease: current concepts.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There is an elevated risk for poor outcomes after heart transplant (HTx) in patients sensitized to human leukocyte antigens including graft dysfunction, acute cellular and antibody-mediated (AMR) rejection, and cardiac allograft vasculopathy. We report our experience with human leukocyte antigens-sensitized ...

This process is associated with inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), although their role in arteriogenesis remains unclear.
