Does not support clinical changes in Ca2+ management; leaves open translation to human cardiac cross-bridge kinetics.
In rabbit psoas muscle fibers, high Ca2+ concentrations reduce the rate constants for cross-bridge dissociation and reassociation by about 2 orders of magnitude in the presence of ATP[gamma S].
Kraft et al. (1992) studied this question.
