*    Introduction
 
This Review is part of a thematic series on Calcium Cycling in Cardiovascular Cells, which includes the following articles: Ca2+ Release Mechanisms, Ca2+ Sparks, and Local Control of Excitation-Contraction Coupling in Normal Heart Muscle Interaction Between Ca2+ and H+ and Functional Consequences in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cardiac Intracellular Calcium Release Channels: Role in Heart Failure

Calcium Fluxes Involved in Control of Cardiac Myocyte Contraction

C. William Balke, Guest Editor

Intracellular Ca2+ is the central regulator of cardiac contractility. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly apparent that alterations in myocyte Ca2+ regulation may be critically important in both the mechanical dysfunction and arrhythmogenesis associated with congestive heart failure.1 2 Thus, it is imperative to have a clear and relatively quantitative understanding of how cellular Ca2+ levels are regulated during the normal contraction-relaxation cycle. The scope and relevant references in this field are far too large for this format, so my focus here is narrower and more personal than elsewhere.3 4 5 Figure 1ADown shows the key pathways involved in myocyte Ca2+ transport. During the cardiac action potential (AP) L-type Ca2+ channels are activated and Ca2+ enters the cell via Ca2+ current (ICa) and also a much smaller amount enters via Na+-Ca2+ exchange (NCX). Ca2+ influx triggers Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and, to some extent, can also contribute to activation of the myofilaments directly. The Ca2+ entry plus the amount released from the SR via Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) raises cytosolic free [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i), causing . . . [Full Text of this Article]
