Should not yet guide beta-blocker selection in atrial disease; leaves open functional validation of the 80:20 ratio in human cohorts.
This study demonstrates that beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors coexist in the human right atrium, with beta 1-adrenoceptors predominating at an 80:20 ratio.
Brodde et al. (1983) studied this question.
