Simulated ischemia in isolated ferret ventricular muscle demonstrates that tension falls rapidly while intracellular calcium transients initially decline then increase, mimicking ischemic cellular events.

These Ca²⁺ shifts during simulated ischemia may underlie contractile failure; hypothesis-generating in isolated muscle and leaves open human relevance.
Allen et al. (1989) studied this question.
