Numerical simulation showed that the size of the calcium spark produced by the new dynamic model was larger than that of Fick diffusion and was in more agreement with experimental results. In addition, the time lags of the calcium spark in cardiac myocytes were about 0.1—0.8 ms. These results can be used to understand the mechanism of calcium spark diffusion in cardiac myocytes.展开更多
