<h4>Rationale</h4>Increased activity of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is thought to promote heart failure (HF) progression. However, the importance of CaMKII phosphorylation of ryanodine receptors (RyR2) in HF development and associated diastolic sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) leak is unclear.<h4>Objective</h4>Determine the role of CaMKII phosphorylation of RyR2 in patients and mice with nonischemic and ischemic forms of HF.<h4>Methods and results</h4>Phosphorylation of t ...[more]
