Spontaneous Ca2+ release (SCR) in the form of Ca2+ waves is responsible for cardiac myocyte depolarization and delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs) that can produce triggered beats. Whether or not a cell reaches threshold is determined by the magnitude . . .

Background: Abnormalities in intracellular calcium (Ca) cycling during Ca overload can cause triggered activity because spontaneous calcium release (SCR) activates sufficient Ca-sensitive inward currents to induce delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs). . . .

Intracellular Ca waves occur as the result of spontaneous Ca release (SCR) during Ca overload. Ca waves activate Na-Ca exchange, causing delayed afterdepolarizations (DAD) which can achieve threshold and produce triggered extrasystoles. It is not know . . .
