Acidotic pH may modulate cardiac beta-adrenergic signaling in animals; leaves open relevance to human ischemia or HF.
Acidosis enhances isoproterenol-induced phospholamban phosphorylation in the intact heart via an increase in intracellular calcium and inhibition of phosphatases, specifically targeting the Thr17 residue.
Vittone et al. (1998) studied this question.
