Brief description Inhibition of cardiac calcium ion channels may be an effective new way of improving heart performance in patients with heart failure. This project will investigate how a glutathione transferase enzyme inhibits calcium ion channels in the heart and if small fragments of a muscle specific glutathione transferase can be used to specifically modify cardiac ryanodine receptor function. These fragments will provide the basis for the development of a new therapeutic approach.
