Using a new mathematical model of heart cells, University of Iowa investigators have shown how activation of a critical enzyme, calmodulin kinase II (CaM kinase), disrupts the electrical activity of heart cells. The study, which also involved Columbia University, was published online Dec. 3 in the journal PLoS Computational Biology.
