“…Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity is stimulated maximally by millimolar concentrations of Ca 2+, a property which is consistent with its proposed role as a gating enzyme (4). The Ca2+-dependent ATPase protein has been recently characterized (4) and solubilized (24) from cardiac sarcolemreal membrane preparation.…”

SumtnaryIt is widely recognized that calcium is of singular importance in the viability of the myocardial cell, nonetheless little is known concerning the precise nature of the action of calcium in myocardium as to how it maintains the life of the cell and how it may dictate the death of the cell. However, recent advances in research involved with the study of calcium movement in the heart have been highly valuable for the formulation of new concepts with respect to the physiological and pathological aspects of calcium metabolism in the myocardium. It is becoming clear that calcium movements are closely related to cardiac eleetrophysiological events, contractile function, membrane integrity and energy metabolism. In particular, a novel theory involving phosphatidylinositol turnover and Ca2+-dependent ATPase activation has been advanced regarding the mechanism and control of calcium entry into the cardiac cell upon excitation. Alterations in the regulation of calcium metabolism through the interaction of a number of separate elements may affect calcium distribution in the cell and thereby may change cardiac function and metabolism. The part calcium plays in the genesis of pathological states in the myoeardium is discussed in the light of research employing various experimental protocols. Intracellular calcium overload and deficiency are postulated to contribute to cardiac contractile failure and cell death through a number of distinct mechanisms. It is now a real challenge to understand the precise nature of processes associated with the occurrence of intracellular calcium overload or intracellular calcium deficiency in order to achieve proper management of cardiac disorders.
