In our previous study, we established the novel concept of a non-neuronal cardiac cholinergic system--cardiomyocytes produce ACh in an autocrine and/or paracrine manner. Subsequently, we determined the biological significance of this system--it played a critical role in modulating mitochondrial oxygen
