Abstract

eart failure (HF) is a leading cause of death and enormous effort has focused at understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of the decreased cardiac contractility.While changes of other components contribute, it is generally agreed that much of the contractile deficit is due to reduced myocyte Ca 2ϩ transients.1,2 Alterations in Ca 2ϩ current (I Ca ) and action potential characteristics are also seen in HF, but a central factor limiting Ca 2ϩ transient amplitude is a decrease of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca 2ϩ content.3-6 HF is extremely complex, but it is easy to appreciate how reduced SR Ca 2ϩ content would reduce SR Ca 2ϩ release, myofilament activation, and contractility.Despite agreement that SR Ca 2ϩ content is reduced in HF, controversy exists about why SR content is low. Limitations of the RyR Hyperphosphorylation HypothesisThis is an important hypothesis but requires further testing.Some published data are inconsistent with critical aspects of

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.
