This study demonstrates that the loading level of the sarcoplasmic reticulum is critical for the induction of Ca2+ waves in guinea pig ventricular muscle, and these waves rarely propagate beyond individual cell boundaries.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not change clinical practice; leaves open whether sarcoplasmic reticulum loading drives arrhythmogenic waves in humans.
Kurebayashi et al. (2004) studied this question.
