Modeling autoregulation of cardiac excitation-Ca-contraction and arrhythmogenic activities in response to mechanical load changes by Asuka Hatano, Leighton T. Izu, Ye Chen-Izu, Daisuke Sato

“…The model recapitulates the experimental data showing that the mechanical load on cardiomyocytes during contraction increases the L-type Ca2+ current, action potential duration, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ content, and SR Ca2+ release, giving rise to increased cytosolic Ca2+ transient (MCT-Ca2+ gain) and enhanced contraction. …”
