The control of diastolic calcium in the heart: basic mechanisms and functional implications

DA Eisner, JL Caldwell, AW Trafford… - Circulation …, 2020 - Am Heart Assoc
Normal cardiac function requires that intracellular Ca2+ concentration be reduced to low
levels in diastole so that the ventricle can relax and refill with blood. Heart failure is often …
