Maintaining energy provision in the heart: the creatine kinase system in ischaemia-reperfusion injury and chronic heart failure
The non-stop provision of chemical energy is of critical importance to normal cardiac function, requiring the rapid turnover of ATP to power both relaxation and contraction. Central to this is the creatine kinase (CK) phosphagen system, which buffers local ATP levels to optimise the energy available...
