Intracellular calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis in cardiac myocytes is an important determinant of both contractile and electrophysiological function and is responsible for excitation contraction coupling through the process of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR). Cardiomyocytes contain an intracellular structure that facilitates rapid and robust CICR: type 2 ryanodine receptors (RyRs), responsible for Ca2+ release from the intracellular Ca2+ store, the sarcoplasmic reticulum, are distributed throughout the intracellular volume in clusters closely juxtaposed (< 20 nm) with the sarcolemmal membrane and the L-type Ca2+ channels that reside therein, forming dyads (1). RyR dysfunction may directly impair CICR and thus excitation contraction coupling, resulting in inhibited or inefficient cellular contraction; moreover, many experimental reports have indicated that a change of RyR characteristics is a major contributor to arrhythmia associated with various conditions, such as atrial fibrillation (2) and heart failure (3). To understand the role of RyRs at multiple scales (ie, from molecular-to organ-level), a physiologically accurate mathematical description of RyR kinetics in health and disease is needed.An ideal RyR model should not only replicate the experimental observations of RyR kinetics but also conduct robustly in the context of the multiple interacting components of the subcellular or cell-level computational models of Ca2+ homeostasis. Multiple well-established (two-, three-, and four-state) RyR Markov models have been commonly used to replicate RyR kinetics (ie, opening, closing, inactivation, and refractoriness) and systolic/diastolic Ca2+ regulation (eg, sarcoplasmic reticulum leak, Ca2+ sparks, and Ca2+ waves). All the models are designed to replicate part of the RyR kinetics and Ca2+ dynamic features but may be parameterized for different purposes, eg, maintaining stable Ca2+ homeostasis or reproducing spontaneous Ca2+ sparks at appropriate frequency. Despite the fundamental importance of RyR dynamics for cellular function, the development of a mathematical description of the RyR, which is both determined from experimental channel observations and simultaneously robustly reproduces the full range of physiological and pathophysiological behaviors, remains a major challenge (4).
