Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ handling and high [Na+]i in Purkinje cells (PCs). A, Representative traces of caffeine-induced Ca2+ transient from control ventricular myocytes (VMs; top left) and PCs (bottom left) and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia VMs (top right) and PCs (bottom right) recorded at 3-Hz stimulation with 10 mmol/L caffeine. B, Mean peak SR Ca2+ content in each cell type. C, SR fractional release and (D) time to 50% decay from caffeine-induced Ca2+ transient VMs. E, Average NiCl2-sensitive Na+/Ca2+ exchanger current/voltage relationships (voltage ramp protocol shown in the inset). F, Mean [Na+] concentration. *P<0.05.
