A stressed myocardial cell that has no calcium gradient across its plasma membrane most likely has undergone which of the following processes?

A ) Abortive mitosis
B ) Adaptation
C ) Cell death
D ) Repolarization
E ) Reversible cell injury

shocked

  #2

I think it is C because in necrosis Ca2+ enters the cell through damaged cell membrane

  #3

C...because inorder for the artium to contract it needs Ca2+ but if theres no gradient for Ca2+ then the heart won't be able to contract leading to heart failure or in this cell death.

  #4

I go with C too
