CaMKII-dependent regulation of cardiac Na(+) homeostasis. [PDF]
, 2014 Na(+) homeostasis is a key regulator of cardiac excitation and contraction. The cardiac voltage-gated Na(+) channel, NaV1.5, critically controls cell excitability, and altered channel gating has been implicated in both inherited and acquired arrhythmias.
