Ionic membrane currents and intracellular calcium homeostasis in the TP + M model. Calcium currents: iCaL—L-type Ca2+ current; ibCa—background Ca2+ current. Potassium currents: iK1—inward rectifier K+ current; ito—transient outward current; iKr, iKs—rapid and slow delayed rectifier current; ipK—plateau K+ current. Sodium currents: iNa—fast Na+ current; ibNa—background Na+ current. Pumps and exchangers: ipCa—sarcolemmal Ca2+ pump current; iNaK—Na+–K+ pump current; iNaCa—Na+–Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) current. Calcium translocations: Irel—Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via ryanodine receptors to the subspace (SS); Ixfer—Ca2+ diffusion from SS to the cytoplasm; Ileak—a small Ca2+ leakage from the SR to the cytoplasm; Iup—Ca2+ pumping from the cytoplasm to the SR, where Ca2+ is partially buffered (Buffer in SR). Cytoplasmic buffering is divided into two compartments: Ca2+–troponin C complex formation (Ca–TnC) inherited from [28] and buffering by other intracellular ligands (Buffer). The figure is modified from the diagram in the Physiome Model Repository (https://models.physiomeproject.org/exposure/a7179d94365ff0c9c0e6eb7c6a787d3d/ten_tusscher_model_2006_IK1Ko_M_units.cellml/view) based on [20]
