title: [Regulation of Ca2+ sensitivity of contractile elements in cardiac muscle].
abstract: Contraction of cardiac muscle is regulated by changes in the concentration of intracellular Ca(2+) . An increase in the Ca(2+) concentration results in enhanced contractility of cardiac muscle. It is also known that cardiac contractility is influenced by changes in Ca(2+) sensitivity of contractile elements. Recent studies at the molecular level have revealed the complexity of the regulation of Ca(2+) sensitivity of contractile elements.
