Abstract
► We uncover the mechanism of cardiac arrhythmia induced by oxidative stress. ► Transient oxidative stress induces long-term facilitation of L-type Ca2+ current. ► The facilitation of L-type Ca2+ current is dependent on sustained CaMKII activity. ► Autophosphorylation- and oxidation-dependent mechanisms sustain CaMKII activity. ► SR Ca2+ release and mitochondrial ROS generation regulate CaMKII activity.
