Effects of mechanical load on calcium handling in cardiac myocytes
In the 'in sitrl heart, electrical excitation of cardiac myocytes induces Ca2+ influx into the cytosolic space, which initiates muscle contraction (excitation contraction coupling) against a background of dynamically changing pre- and afterload conditions. On the other hand, mechanical load aff...
