note = "Prolongation of the Ca 2+ transient and action potential (AP) durations are two characteristic changes in myocyte physiology in the failing human heart. The hypothesis of this study is that Ca 2+ influx via reverse mode Na+/Ca 2+ exchanger (NCX) or via L-type Ca 2+ channels directly activates contraction in failing human myocytes while in normal myocytes this Ca 2+ is transported into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to regulate SR Ca 2+ stores.",
