Perturbed atrial calcium handling in an ovine model of heart failure : potential roles for reductions in the L-type calcium current (2014)
Journal Article

Heart failure (HF) is commonly associated with reduced cardiac output and an increased risk of atrial arrhythmias particularly during β-adrenergic stimulation. The aim of the present study was to determine how HF alters systolic Ca(2+) and the respon...
