Abnormalities in intracellular Ca2+ handling play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of heart failure. The reduced capacity of failing human myocardium to restore low resting Ca2+ levels during diastole has been explained by the impairment of Ca2+ uptake into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via the SR Ca(2+)ATPase. It is unclear whether Ca(2+)ATPase function, protein levels, and mRNA steady-state levels correspond to one other, and whether the cause of heart failure, namely idiopathic dilated or ischemic cardiomyopathy, produces different changes. The present study examined SR Ca(2+)ATPase activity and both mRNA and protein levels of SR Ca(2+)ATPase, phospholamban, and Gi alpha(2) in left ventricular myocardium from eight nonfailing hearts, from eight hearts of patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and from six hearts from patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). Compared to nonfailing myocardium, the activity of the SR Ca(2+)ATPase was significantly reduced in failing myocardium from patients with DCM (36%, P
