Does pacing-induced heart failure alter the Ca2+ release function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in dog left ventricular muscles?
In a dog model of pacing-induced heart failure, the Ca2+ releasing function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum is disturbed, characterized by reduced Ca2+ uptake and lower ryanodine receptor density.
Takahiro Yamamoto (1999) studied this question.
