The overall goal of this procedure is to evaluate sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium reserve and intracellular diastolic calcium removal function in isolated cardiomyocytes. This method can help answer key questions about intracellular calcium handlin

Intracellular calcium recycling plays a critical role in regulation of systolic and diastolic function in cardiomyocytes. Here, we describe a protocol to evaluate sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ reserve and diastolic calcium removal function in cardiomyocytes by a calcium imaging system.
