Background: The key pathophysiology of human acquired heart failure is impaired calcium transient, which is initiated at dyads consisting of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) at sarcoplasmic reticulum apposing CaV1.2 channels at t-tubules. Sympathetic tone regulates myocardial calcium transients through β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR)-mediated phosphorylation of dyadic proteins.
