Abstract excerpt
Release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) drives contractile function of cardiac myocytes. Luminal Ca(2+) regulation of SR Ca(2+) release is fundamental not only in physiology but also in physiopathology because abnormal luminal Ca(2+) regulation is known to lead to arrhythmias, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), and/or sudden cardiac arrest, as inferred from animal model...
