cardiovascular system
• amplitude of heart contraction is significantly reduced relative to that in control hearts
• analysis of calcium cycling and heart contraction revealed impaired calcium handling
• hearts reach the maximal calcium level slightly slower than control hearts
• rate of post-contraction calcium decrease is significantly slower than that in controls hearts
• calcium decays almost linearly from the peak signal, in contrast to a two-phase (a rapid drop within the first 20 ms followed by a slower decrease for about 200 ms) reduction in control hearts
