Disorder in Ca <sup>2+</sup> Release Unit Locations Confers Robustness but Cuts Flexibility of Heart Pacemaking

Abstract excerpt
Excitation-contraction coupling kinetics are dictated by the rate and rhythm of the excitations generated by sinoatrial-nodal cells. These cells generate local Ca releases (LCRs) that activate Na/Ca exchanger current, which accelerates diastolic depolarization and determines the rate and rhythm of the excitations. The LCRs are generated by clusters of ryanodine receptors, Ca release units (CRUs), residing in the s...
