Raises caution against long-term Ca2+ handling modulation; hypothesis-generating for NCX-mediated energetics in human HF models.
Inhibition of SR Ca2+-ATPase by cyclopiazonic acid increases the oxygen cost of left ventricular contractility in rat hearts, likely due to energy-wasting Ca2+ extrusion via the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger.
Misawa et al. (2001) studied this question.
