The contribution of calcium-handling properties to the properties of triggered sparks in control, under conditions when the propensity to form calcium waves is increased by changes in RyR gating, and upon changes in DCa, jCa, and τd. (A) The relative effect of DCa (red dashed line), jCa (green dashed line), and τd (blue dashed line) on the frequency of triggered sparks (black solid line). (B) The relative effect of DCa (red dashed line), jCa (green dashed line), τd (blue dashed line), and (magenta dashed line) on the increase of the number of open RyRs in triggered sparks (black solid line). Individual changes of simulation parameters are denoted at the top of the figure.
