Calcium is an important mediator in cardiac excitation and disorders in cardiac Ca2+ homeostasis have great influence on the cardiac action potential. Therefore dysfunction in regulatory proteins that are involved in Ca2+ handling can lead to the occurrence of severe arrhythmia. Although mutations in Ca2+ regulating proteins are quite rare, they can offer general insights into arrhythmogenesis. Here, we briefly review some important aspects of arrhythmia-associated mutations in Ca2+ regulating proteins with special emphasis to its associated pathophysiology.
