Hyperkalemia, Cholesterol, and the Heart
Oct. 15th, 2007 11:11 amHere's a nice link to a paper on heart signaling, thanks to Sara:

More to come, when I have a chance to really figure this one out for myself.
Also, from Mercola, they've figured out how cholesterol damages the heart:

I remember the lecture that Brons did on this material. He covered the sodium potassium pump, which I had thought i somewhat understood, but he was able to completely muddy the waters. He took a simple mechanism and spent 1.5 hours confusing it. So here I will summarize my notes and previous knowledge, and see if I can get it to make sense again.
