Abstract
Mutations in two intracellular Ca2+ release channels or ryanodine receptors (RyR1 and RyR2) are associated with a number of human skeletal and cardiac diseases. This chapter discusses these diseases in terms of known mechanisms, controversies, and unanswered questions. We also compare the cardiac and skeletal muscle diseases to explore common mechanisms
