Ionic infusion in transverse tubules of cardiac ventricular myocytes

We have estimated the rate of diffusion of calcium ions in the transverse tubules of isolated cardiocytes by recording changes in peak calcium current (ICa) caused by rapid changes of the extracellular calcium concentration ({Ca}o) at various intervals just preceeding activation of ICa.
