Increased Na/Ca exchange (NCX) expression may be part of the genetic reprogramming in
cardiac remodeling. In this review we address the following questions: (1) Is increased NCX …

Objectives: During cardiac excitation–contraction coupling, Ca 2+ release from the sarcoplasmic
reticulum (SR) occurs at the junctional complex with the T-tubules, containing the L-type …
