The effects of the transmembrane calcium and sodium gradients and membrane potential upon the contraction in frog atrial muscle
A widely accepted view of excitation-contraction in heart muscle is, that depolarization causes voltage dependant calcium channels to open and calcium to flow into the cell. This calcium probably contributes partly to contraction but may cause the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (...
