Caffeine increases intracellular sodium activity in cardiac Purkinje fibres, with its effect on contractile force being highly dependent on the underlying cellular calcium load.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Animal data link caffeine to Purkinje fiber sodium-calcium interplay; leaves open relevance to human contractility or arrhythmias.
Iacono et al. (1994) studied this question.
