Spontaneous Ca2+ waves in rabbit cardiac myocytes: a modelling study

Propagating intr~cellular Ca2+ waves in cardiac myocytes occur as a consequence of the overloaded state of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). To examine these events in detail, ventricular cardiomyocytes were isolated from rabbit hearts and permeabilised with p-escin. Cytosolic Ca2+ signals were monit...
