Na(+) Transport in Cardiac Myocytes; Implications for Excitation-Contraction Coupling

Intracellular Na(+) concentration ([Na(+)](i)) is very important in modulating the contractile and electrical activity of the heart. Upon electrical excitation of the myocardium, voltage-dependent Na(+) channels open, triggering the upstroke of the action potential (AP). During the AP, Ca(2+) enters...
