Abstract

BACKGROUND: Experiments were performed in human ventricular myocytes to investigate properties of excitation-contraction coupling in patients with terminal heart failure. Myocytes were isolated from left ventricular myocardium of patients with cardiac failure caused by dilated or ischemic cardiomyopathy undergoing transplantation. These results were compared with those obtained from cells of healthy donor hearts that for technical reasons were not suitable for transplantation. METHODS AND RESULTS: [Ca2+]i transients and Ca2+ currents were recorded from isolated cells under voltage clamp perfused internally with the Ca2+ indicator fura 2. In cells that were stimulated externally, the cell-permeant form of the indicator, fura 2-AM, was used. When action potentials were to be recorded, cells were stimulated in current clamp mode. Unstimulated Ca2+ current densities were not significantly different in myopathic and control cells. In diseased myocytes, resting [Ca2+]i levels were 165 +/- 61 nmol/l, compared with 95 +/- 47 nmol/l in normal cells. With 5 mmol/l Na+ in the pipette, peak [Ca2+]i transients were 367 +/- 109 and 746 +/- 249 nmol/l, respectively. The decline of [Ca2+]i during diastole was significantly slower in myopathic cells than in control cells. This was a result of a prolongation of the action potential and of a reduced Ca2+ sequestration by the sarcoplasmic reticulum. CONCLUSIONS: These results may partly explain the alterations of contractility in vivo in patients with heart failure.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
