Abstract
⺠Mitochondria occupy a third of the cell volume of cardiac myocytes. ⺠Mitochondria have an elaborate system of calcium uptake and extrusion mechanisms. ⺠Mitochondrial Ca signaling is crucial for excitation-metabolism-contraction coupling. ⺠Mitochondria decode cytosolic Ca signals to respond to energy demands and buffer Ca. ⺠Beat-to-beat transmission or slow integration of cytosolic Ca signals are debated.
