Bursting dynamics in the normal and failing hearts

Abstract A failing heart differs from healthy hearts by an array of symptomatic characteristics, including impaired Ca2+ transients, upregulation of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger function, reduction of Ca2+ uptake to sarcoplasmic reticulum, reduced K+ currents, and increased propensity to arrhythmias. While si...
