Cardiac intracellular calcium dysregulation in atrial fibrillation

Keywords: Intracellular Calcium, cardiac myocytes, dysregulation, atrial fibrillation  Abstract  Calcium ions are responsible for contraction of muscle throughout the body. Therefore, influx of calcium ions (Ca2+) into atrial myocyte cytoplasm is crucial for the contraction of myocytes during systole. Dysregulation of calcium cycling through sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) leak and increased activity of the sodium calcium…
