“Ca2+ release via the IP3R is activated by α1 stimulant, and the Ca2+ in

turn spin up the NCX, which is co-localized with the IP3R, producing

transient depolarization. β1-adrenergic action of NE reinforce CICR,

resulting in Ca2+ overload. The accumulated Ca2+ would be released

again via the IP3R. ”
