The calcium ion (Ca) plays important roles in the living cell, from genetic and regulatory levels to a direct participation in the generation of electrical activity and contraction, as it is the case in muscle cells. In the heart, several Ca transporters are involved in the regulation of intracellular Ca concentration, so that Ca can be provided to and removed from the myofilaments in a p…
The process of excitation of cardiac cells by external electrical field (E) presents physiological differences when compared with stimulation by using the voltage-clamp technique. The stimulatory current applied during voltage-clamp produces an homogeneous variation of the transmembrane potential (deltaVm), while the application of E produces an heterogeneous deltaVm. For the application…
Mathematical models of the cardiac action potential (AP) are useful to help understand the overall electrophysiology of cardiac myocytes and to predict how changes in ion currents may affect the cardiac electrical activity. If AP models are integrated to those that describe the cell Ca2+ dynamics, it is possible to gain better insight into the excitation-contraction coupling phenomenon. C…
