abstract：OBJECTIVE:Heart failure is associated with reduced function of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a) but increased function of sarcolemmal Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX), leading to decreased SR Ca2+ content and loss of frequency-potentiation of contractile force. We reported that SERCA2a-overexpression in transg...
