Progress in unraveling cardiac EC coupling based on experimental imaging and mathematical modeling. Continual advancement of imaging technologies (left column) has provided the tools for critical experimental insight during the last decades. Complementary advancements in mathematical modeling have contributed to shifting the paradigm in our understanding of EC coupling (right column). In recent years, experimental and modeling developments have allowed a near merging of the spatial and temporal scales that each can be used to investigate. EM, electron microscopy; TEM, transmission EM; CICR, calcium-induced calcium release; SR, sarcoplasmic reticulum.
