JenniferG Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Has anyone looked at or linked CamKinase I with heart issues? There is a connection, I just can't comprehend the explanation. T_Anna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trggirl Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Do you mean Camkinase II or I? There are definitely studies connecting CamK II to the heart. If I remember correctly, from what I got out of it was that it affected the relaxation and contraction of the heart. This is also one of the reasons that I made the leap to think that this might be the key to the tics (relaxation and contraction of muscles). I am just guessing though.

I am curious because my 3 kiddos are being evaluated for heart issues and am wondering if an elevated CamKinase II can play a role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trggirl Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I would definitely print the studies for your doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) This is something that I always thought was interesting http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/141710.phpShedding Light On Heart's 'Fight Or Flight' Response To StressEven for those without a heart condition, it's a peculiar feeling when your heart "races" in response to stress. That pacing change happens in part because of how the enzyme calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) is called into action by the body's 'fight or flight' stress response, University of Iowa researchers have found. opps that wasn't the one I was thinking of. I think this is it http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080501125455.htm Heart Disease Discovery: New Mechanism Links Activation Of Key Heart Enzyme And Oxidative Stressmore on this thread http://latitudes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=23457 Edited February 27, 2015 by kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
