@article{Webe_2002_182, abstract = {{N}a$^{+}$-{C}a$^{2+}$ exchange (NCX) is crucial in the regulation of [{C}a$^{2+}$](i) and cardiac contractility, but key details of its dynamic function during the heartbeat are not known. In the present study, we assess how NCX current (I(NCX)) varies during a rabbit ventricular action potential (AP). First, we measured the steady-state voltage and [{C}a$^{2+}$](i) dependence of I(NCX) under conditions when [{C}a$^{2+}$](i) was heavily buffered. We then used this relationship to infer the submembrane [{C}a$^{2+}$](i) ([{C}a$^{2+}$](sm)) sensed by NCX during a normal AP and [{C}a$^{2+}$](i) transient (when the AP was interrupted to produce an I(NCX) tail current). The [{C}a$^{2+}$](i) dependence of I(NCX) at -90 mV allowed us to convert the peak inward I(NCX) tail currents to [{C}a$^{2+}$](sm). Peak [{C}a$^{2+}$](sm) measured via this technique was >3.2 micromol/L within < 32 ms of the AP upstroke (versus peak [{C}a$^{2+}$](i) of 1.1 micromol/L at 81 ms measured with the global {C}a$^{2+}$ indicator indo-1). The voltage and [{C}a$^{2+}$](sm) dependence of I(NCX) allowed us to infer I(NCX) during the normal AP and {C}a$^{2+}$ transient. The early rise in [{C}a$^{2+}$](sm) causes I(NCX) to be inward for the majority of the AP. Thus, little {C}a$^{2+}$ influx via NCX is expected under physiological conditions, but this can differ among species and in pathophysiological conditions.}, added-at = {2009-06-03T11:20:58.000+0200}, author = {Weber, Christopher R and Piacentino, Valentino and Ginsburg, Kenneth S and Houser, Steven R and Bers, Donald M}, biburl = {https://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2846a6b89468e1cab89d34423c613fdee/hake}, description = {The whole bibliography file I use.}, file = {Webe_2002_182.pdf:Webe_2002_182.pdf:PDF}, interhash = {ef429b3940a2db63313f07d69ee55fae}, intrahash = {846a6b89468e1cab89d34423c613fdee}, journal = {Circ.
