Abstract
The multifunctional Ca(2+)/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) has emerged as a proarrhythmic and procardiomyopathic signal in a wide range of structural heart diseases. This review discusses CaMKII structure and function and recent evidence implicating CaMKII inhibition as a potential strategy for treating myocardial dysfunction and arrhythmias in the setting of structural heart disease.Entities:
