Changes in steady state SR content induced by conditioning trains of action potentials of differing duration. (A) Protocol used to determine steady state SR content, comprised of train of 100 normal (black) and shortened (red) AP clamp commands followed by a 300 ms square command voltage pulse to +10 mV. (B) ICaL elicited by the +10 mV voltage command. Peak ICaL is equal with the two AP waveforms in (A). (C) Normalized [Ca2+]i elicited by the by the +10 mV voltage command. Values are normalized to maximum [Ca2+]i for the “normal” AP waveform. (D) Normalized active force elicited by the +10 mV voltage command. Values are normalized to maximum active force for the normal AP waveform. (E) Normalized maximum SR Ca2+ content prior to the application of +10 mV voltage command in (A). Values are normalized to maximum SR Ca2+ for the normal AP waveform.
