Abstract
An extract of the first 100 words of the full text is provided, because this article has no abstract. In excitable tissues, the activity of the plasmalemmal sodium/potassium ATPase (Na/K pump) is vital for the maintenance of normal electrical activity and ion gradients. In cardiac muscle, the transsarcolemmal sodium (Na) gradient established by the Na/K activity is essential not only for generating the rapid upstroke of the action potential but also for driving a number of ion exchange and transport processes that are crucial for normal cellular function, excitation contraction coupling, ion homeostasis and the control of cell volume. These Na-dependent membrane transporters include those responsible for the regulation of other ions (such as the sodium calcium exchanger (NCX), . . .
