Local hyperactivation of L-type Ca2+ channels increases spontaneous Ca2+ release activity and cellular hypertrophy in right ventricular myocytes from heart failure rats

Abstract Right ventricle (RV) dysfunction is an independent predictor of patient survival in heart failure (HF). However, the mechanisms of RV progression towards failing are not well understood. We studied cellular mechanisms of RV remodelling in a rat model of left ventricle myocardial infarction...
