Ca2+ Signaling Triggered by Shear-Autocrine P2X Receptor Pathway in Rat Atrial Myocytes

Background/Aims: The atrium is exposed to high shear stress during heart failure and valvular diseases. We aimed to understand atrial shear-induced Ca2+ signaling and its underlying mechanisms. Methods: Pressurized micro-flow was applied to single rat atrial myocytes, and Ca2+ signal, membrane poten...
