To identify possible alterations of the L-type calcium currents (I(Ca),L) in cardiomyopathy, I(Ca),L were recorded in atrial myocytes dissociated from the nonfailing heart (NF) of patients undergoing corrective open-heart surgery and explanted failing heart (FH) of patients with dilated cardiomyopat

In isolated papillary muscle strips from nonfailing donor hearts (NF) and from the hearts of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy with severe heart failure (NYHA IV), the force-frequency relationship was studied. Experiments were performed under basal conditions and in the presence of 0.01 microM or
Using subtype-specific Ca-channel blockers, we have characterised the voltage-sensitive Ca 21 currents as well as neurotransmitter release from cultured mouse cerebellar granule cells. The whole cell version of the patch clamp technique was adapted to monitor the isolated Ca-channel currents. The cu
