The local control theory of excitation-contraction (EC) coupling in
cardiac muscle asserts that L-type Ca$^2+$ current tightly controls
Ca$^2+$ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via local
interaction of closely apposed L-type Ca$^2+$ channels (LCCs)
and ryanodine receptors (RyRs). These local interactions give rise
to smoothly graded Ca$^2+$-induced Ca$^2+$ release (CICR),
which exhibits high gain. In this study we present a biophysically
detailed model of the normal canine ventricular myocyte that conforms
to local control theory. The model formulation incorporates details
of microscopic EC coupling properties in the form of Ca$^2+$
release units (CaRUs) in which individual sarcolemmal LCCs interact
in a stochastic manner with nearby RyRs in localized regions where
junctional SR membrane and transverse-tubular membrane are in close
proximity. The CaRUs are embedded within and interact with the
global systems of the myocyte describing ionic and membrane pump/exchanger
currents, SR Ca$^2+$ uptake, and time-varying cytosolic ion concentrations
to form a model of the cardiac action potential (AP). The model can
reproduce both the detailed properties of EC coupling, such as variable
gain and graded SR Ca$^2+$ release, and whole-cell phenomena,
such as modulation of AP duration by SR Ca$^2+$ release. Simulations
indicate that the local control paradigm predicts stable APs when
the L-type Ca$^2+$ current is adjusted in accord with the balance
between voltage- and Ca$^2+$-dependent inactivation processes
as measured experimentally, a scenario where common pool models become
unstable. The local control myocyte model provides a means for studying
the interrelationship between microscopic and macroscopic behaviors
in a manner that would not be possible in experiments.
