title: [Two types of electromechanical coupling in myocardial myocytes].
abstract: Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of isolated myocytes of guineapigs deprived of Ca2+ by means of short exposure of the cell to caffeine does not re-uptake Ca in the quiescent cell. In rat Ca2+ SR content is promptly recovered under the same experimental conditions. The results of this study confirm the two types of excitation-contraction coupling in isolated myocyes of gineapig and rat hearts: without Ca uptake and with Ca uptake between excitations, respectively.
