Mathematical model advances heart-related research

Friday, December 4, 2009 - 11:14 in Health & Medicine

Using a new mathematical model of heart cells, investigators have shown how activation of a critical enzyme, calmodulin kinase II (CaM kinase), disrupts the electrical activity of heart cells. By targeting this enzyme's activity, it may be possible to prevent or treat heart disease and associated electrical rhythm disturbances.
