Abstract
In summary, our present study aims to bring the attention of clinicians and pharmacologists to the remarkable functional divergence of the 2 βarrestins in the heart, which, coupled with the virtual absence of the “good” cardiac βarrestin2 protein in humans, highlights potential causes of 2 recent clinical failures of novel, otherwise promising therapies for human HF. Importantly, it points to a “missing link” (boosting endogenous cardiac βarrestin2 levels) for these therapeutics that is necessary to attain efficacy for human HF treatment.
