ABSTRACT
Cardiac hypertrophy and vascular proliferative diseases are associated with major alterations in calcium homeostasis and calcium signaling. The recent discovery of STIM and Orai has generated great enthusiasm concerning the role of these proteins in the cardiovascular system. We will review the major results concerning the existence and the role of these proteins in the cardiovascular system in normal and pathological situations and their implication in cardiovascular remodeling.
