| Research Abstract |
Calcium spark is diastolic spontaneous calcium releasing event from ryanodine receptors (RyR) on sarcoplasmic reticulum. We have previously reported that myocardial stretch increases calcium spark rate. It has been regarded that stretch-induced increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production from NADPH oxidase stimulates RyR to cause the phenomenon. However, the present study revealed that stretch-induced increase in ROS production is derived from mitochondria.
