Implication

May guide arrhythmia research targeting SR Ca2+ release; leaves open clinical translation pending targeted trials.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Cardiac myocytes (isolated and in intact tissue)

Spontaneous calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum is a fundamental cellular mechanism that can trigger arrhythmias and contribute to both systolic and diastolic myocardial dysfunction.
