Beat-to-beat alternation of the time-dependent restitution properties and refractory kinetics of the SR Ca(2+) release mechanism is a key driver of cardiac alternans in atrial myocytes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change arrhythmia management; leaves open whether SR Ca2+ restitution drives human cardiac alternans.
Shkryl et al. (2012) studied this question.
