Does not alter clinical ion transport management; leaves open the physiological role of Na+-Ca2+ exchanger inactivation in intact hearts.
In intact guinea-pig ventricular myocytes, a significant fraction of Na+-Ca2+ exchangers are in an inactive state, and the mechanism of inactivation appears independent of activation by extracellular monovalent cations.
Matsuoka et al. (1994) studied this question.
