Experimental data do not support the idea that excitation-contraction coupling in heart muscle can be explained by a simple calcium-induced calcium release mechanism alone or a simple voltage-dependent calcium release mechanism alone. Our data on excitation-contraction coupling combined with the results of others suggest the need to either develop more complex and more sophisticated single-mechanism models, or to establish dual-control models.
