Demonstrates that depolarization contractures require extracellular Ca2+ ions for E-C coupling, whereas twitches can use membrane-bound 'trigger' calcium ions.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No immediate clinical implications for Ca2+ management; leaves open translation of distinct E-C coupling pools to human myocardium.
George B. Frank (1982) studied this question.
