Cellular mechanisms of heart failure

In cardiac myocytes, contraction is triggered by a transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels. Depolarization causes Ca2+ entry through L-type Ca2+ channels, which in turn triggers release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). This process is referred to as Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release...
