[Na+]i handling in the failing human heart
Abstract
Proper contractile function of the heart depends on intact excitation-contraction processes and ion homeostasis of the myocytes. The Ca2+ ion activates contraction through its binding to troponin C. However, Ca2+ homeostasis is tightly linked to Na+ regulation because the primary mechanism for Ca2+ efflux in cardiac myocytes is via electrogenic Na+/Ca2+-exchange. While altered Ca2+-homeostasis has been demonstrated in animal models of heart failure and failing human cardiac tissue, the role of dysfunctional Na+ handling processes in altered excitation-contraction coupling remains obscure. Furthermore, altered Na+ handling has been implicated in a wide range of cellular processes, such as regulation of membrane potential, pH, and growth. This review will discuss (1) the evidence for altered [Na+]i homeostasis in the failing human heart, (2) how alterations in the Na+ electrochemical gradient can influence Ca2+ handling, contractile function, and a number of other cellular processes, and (3) the potential defects in Na+ channels and transporters that may underlie altered [Na+]i in the failing human heart.
