A Caveolae Targeted L-type Ca(2+) Channel Antagonist Inhibits Hypertrophic Signaling Without Reducing Cardiac Contractility

RATIONALE: The source of Ca(2+) to activate pathological cardiac hypertrophy is not clearly defined. Ca(2+) influx through the L-type Ca(2+) channels (LTCCs) determines “contractile” Ca(2+), which is not thought to be the source of “hypertrophic” Ca(2+). However, some LTCCs are housed in caveolin-3...
