Calcium handling dysfunction and cardiac damage following acute ventricular preload challenge in the dystrophin-deficient mouse heart

Abstract

The mechanisms of cardiac disease progression in muscular dystrophy are complex and poorly understood. Using a transgenic mouse model with cardiomyocyte-specific expression of the GCaMP6f Ca2+ indicator, the present study provides further support for the Ca2+-overload hypothesis of disease progression and ventricular arrhythmogenesis in muscular dystrophy.
