Three distinct types of Ca(2+) waves in Langendorff-perfused rat heart revealed by real-time confocal microscopy.

abstract：:Compared with the adult, neonatal heart muscle is less sensitive to deactivation by acidic pH. We hypothesized that expression of slow skeletal troponin I (ssTnI), the embryonic isoform, in adult heart would help maintain left ventricular (LV) systolic function during respiratory hypercapnia. We assessed LV function b...
