Understanding how defects in the subcellular components of single cardiomyocytes affect the calcium cycling in single cells can help to pin down the origin of cardiovascular disease. A multiscale model is used, which combines the stochastic nature of subcellular components (as Ryanodine Receptors, RyR or L-type Calcium Channels, LCC), their spatial arrangement as well as spatio-temporal calcium and buffer gradients at the whole-cell level. Recent findings regarding the geometrical clustering of RyRs and LCCs inspired us to include the physiological description of it into our mathematical model. The included structure modifications showed a dramatic effect on the model’s outputs; in detail the arrangement of RyRs has a strong impact on cell functions. Our study aims to lay a quantitative fundament for the analysis of defect cardiomyocytes under physiologically conditions to deepen the understanding of how diseased heart tissue might be treated.
