Cardiac insufficiency is a very common disease. It can be defined as an inability of the heart to pump a sufficient amount of blood to supply oxygen and nutrients to organs and tissue, which leads to fatigue, shortness of breath, and edema. Cardiac insufficiency is most often caused by arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease. It can be manifested in severe form, as a sharp decline in cardiac output with symptoms of disrupted blood flow, and in chronic form, which is manifest as heart pain. 

Sodium and potassium are not the only ions which can participate in pumps and channels. Calcium is also pumped, channeled, exhanged,and stored. See Figure 23. Calcium concentration within the cell cytoplasm is very low. This allows the calcium to play a pivotal role in cellular activity. The cytoplasmic protein calmodulin binds and stores calcium ion. Various intracellular structures and organelles such as the mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum also store calcium. Calcium is vital to such functions as the release of neurotransmitters from nerve cells. There are at least seven known modes of biochemical action for this ion, one of the most important of which involves stimulation of cardiac muscle protein (actin-myosin). Certain types of angina (heart pain) are believed to be caused by abnormal stimulation of cardiac arteries and muscle (coronary spasm) A relatively new class of drugs, known as the calcium channel blockers, has brought relief from pain and arrhythmias (irregular heart beats).
