Abstract
Both Ca influx and SR Ca release are important elements in E-C coupling and Ca from both sources can contribute to the activation of contraction. In this chapter I will try to clarify the dynamic interplay of transsarcolemmal and trans-SR Ca fluxes in different cardiac muscle preparations and under different experimental situations.
