A, Representative recordings of cell shortening from control myocytes or myocytes infected with Ad.β-Gal or Ad.Retn. B. Cell length (%); C. contraction velocity; D. relaxation velocity; E. representative Ca2+ transient traces; F. Ca2+ transients; G. calcium transients decay, and H. time to 90% baseline measured in adult ventricular control myocytes or myocytes infected with Ad.β-Gal or Ad.Retn (cultured under the same conditions) . Average parameters of cardiomyocyte contraction were determined (Ad.β-Gal, n=30; Ad:Retn, n=30); *P<0.01 Ad.Retn vs Ad. β-Gal
