Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Several mutations in the ventricular myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) were identified to cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC). Based on our previous cellular findings showing delayed calcium transients in electrically stimulated intact papillary muscle fibres from transgenic Tg-R58Q and Tg-N47K mice and, in addition, prolonged force transients in Tg-R58Q fibres, we hypothesized that the...
