Modelling Excitation Contraction Coupling — •Martin Falcke — Max Delbrück Centrum für Molekulare Medizin Berlin

We present an efficient but detailed approach to modelling Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release in the diadic cleft of cardiac ventricular myocytes. We developed a spatial resolved Ca2+ release unit (CaRU), consisting of the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum and the diadic cleft. Individaul channels are modelled by Markov chains. By taking advantage of time scale seperation, the model could be finally reduced to only one ordinary differential equation for describing Ca2+ fluxes and diffusion. Additionally the channel gating is described in a stochastic way. The resulting model is able to reproduce experimental findings like the gradedness of SR release, the voltage dependence of ECC gain and typical spark life time.
