Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Experiments were performed to determine the relative contributions of direct Ca-entry through the L-type Ca and of Ca -release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (s.r.) to the intracellular [Ca]-transient in isolated human atrial and ventricular myocytes from patients with severe heart failure and from non-failing controls. Cells were isolated from explanted hearts of patients undergoing trans- plantation because of severe heart failure due to dilated or ischemic cardiomyopathy or from donor hearts which could not be transplanted for technical reasons. Ca-current densities were -2.1 ± 0.6 pA/pF in atrial cells, -4.8 ± 0.5 pA/pFin cells from patients with heart failure and -3.2 ± 0.5 pA/pF in non-failing controls. [Ca ]-transients were significantly smaller in heart failure (370 ± 33 nM) compared to ventricular cells from non-failing hearts (760 ± 69 nM, p < 0.05). Atrial myocytes had average [Ca ]-transients of 505 ± 38 nM. After incubation in ryanodine the average [Ca]-transients were not significantly different between different cell types. The results indicate that the relative contribution of Ca released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum to the [Ca]-transient is significantly smaller in heart failure. The absolute contribution of the L-type Ca -current to the transient seemed to be comparable in all cell types investigated. As the [Ca]-transient in the presence of ryanodine was comparable in size in all cells, changes of the intracellular [Ca]-transient in heart failure are mainly due to alterations of s.r. function in these cells. © Steinkopff Verlag 1997.
