Resolving an inconsistency in the estimation of the energy for excitation of cardiac muscle contraction
In the excitation of muscle contraction, calcium ions interact with transmembrane transporters. This process is accompanied by energy consumption and heat liberation. To quantify this activation energy or heat in the heart or cardiac muscle, two non-pharmacological approaches can be used. In one app...
