Calcium Handling Defects and Cardiac Arrhythmia Syndromes

Calcium Handling Defects and Cardiac Arrhythmia Syndromes

Calcium ions (Ca2+) play a major role in the cardiac excitation-contraction coupling. Intracellular Ca2+ concentration increases during systole and falls in diastole thereby determining cardiac contraction and relaxation. Normal cardiac function also requires perfect organization of the ion currents...
