Figure 6 Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Clamping Abolishes Alternans in Modeled Endocardial Cells
(A) Odd (solid lines) and even (dotted lines) beats for a single endocardial cell at steady state with sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium uptake current (Iup) reduced by 70%, showing alternans in action potential (AP), intracellular calcium ([Ca]i), L-type calcium current (ICaL), and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium (CaSR). (B) APs superimposed (blue line = odd; red line = even) for (left) ICaL, (middle) [Ca]i, and (right) CaSR, clamped to the odd traces in (A). Clamping to even beats did not change the results.
