Abstract | The muscular dystrophies caused by dystrophin deficiency, the so-called dystrophinopathies, are associated with impaired cardiac contractility and arrhythmias, which considerably contribute to disease morbidity and mortality. Impaired Ca handling in ventricular cardiomyocytes has been identified as a causative factor for complications in the dystrophic heart, and restoration of normal Ca handling in myocytes has emerged as a promising new therapeutic strategy. In the present study, we explored the hypothesis that ivabradine, a drug clinically approved for the treatment of heart failure and stable angina pectoris, improves Ca handling in dystrophic cardiomyocytes and thereby enhances contractile performance in the dystrophic heart. Therefore, ventricular cardiomyocytes were isolated from the hearts of adult dystrophin-deficient DMD |
