Abstract
⺠Atrial cardiac myocytes make an important contribution to blood pumping. ⺠Dysregulation of atrial contraction can be debilitating or even fatal. ⺠Atrial myocytes have a different ultrastructure from ventricular myocytes. ⺠Calcium regulates heart contraction, and it has a unique pattern in atrial myocytes. ⺠Atrial myocytes change the pattern of calcium signalling to alter contraction strength.
