Aim of this review is to give an overview and discuss recent findings on the role of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in the heart. Special attention is drawn to excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) and excitation-transcription coupling (ETC). Because CaMKII expression and activity are increased in cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, and during arrhythmias both in animal models as well as in the human heart a clinical significance of CaMKII is implied.
