Ca<sup>2+</sup> waves in cardiac myocytes can lead to arrhythmias owing to delayed after-depolarisations. Based on Ca<sup>2+</sup> regulation from the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (JSR), a mathematical model was developed to investigate the interplay of clustered and rogue RyRs on Ca<sup>2+</sup> waves. The model successfully reproduces Ca<sup>2+</sup> waves in cardiac myocytes, which are in agreement with experimental results. A new wave propagation mode of "spark-diffusion-quark-spark" is ...[more]
