The cardiac ryanodine receptor (calcium release channel): emerging role in heart failure and arrhythmia pathogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

The cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release channel, commonly referred to as the ryanodine receptor, is a key component in cardiac excitation-contraction coupling, where it is responsible for the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. As our knowledge of the ryanodine receptor has advanced an appreciation that this key E-C coupling component may have a role in the pathogenesis of human cardiac...
