WebStrikingly, T-type channel isoforms are co-expressed in the cardiac conduction system with other ion channels that play a major role in pacemaking such as f- (HCN4) and L-type Cav1.3 channels. Pharmacologic inhibition of T-type channels reduces the spontaneous activity of isolated pacemaker myocytes of the sino-atrial node, the dominant heart ...

WebFeb 1, 2000 · N-type calcium channels have been shown to be predominant in controlling neurotransmitter release in sympathetically innervated preparations from animal species in vitro 11 12 13 (for brief review, see Reference 7 7) and in vivo. 14 15 In agreement with those findings, norepinephrine release from the sympathetic nerves of the human heart … WebMay 3, 2007 · The heart muscle is remarkable. At an average heart rate of 70 beats min −1, the heart needs to contract and relax more than 100 000 times a day without stopping or tiring. The rate and strength of these contractions must vary to meet physiological and pathological challenges. This article provides an overview of cardiac muscle physiology.
