Exchangeability of heart calcium in cardiomyopathic hamsters.
Acute electrolyte depletion markedly reduced the elevated heart calcium in 60-day-old BIO 14.6 hamsters. This exchangeability may explain the susceptibility of calcium to therapeutic intervention at 60 days. At 120 days, the procedure did not alter heart calcium concentration.
