Abstract excerpt
According to the Frank-Starling relationship, greater end-diastolic volume increases ventricular output. The Frank-Starling relationship is based, in part, on the length-tension relationship in cardiac myocytes. Recently, we identified a dichotomy in the steepness of length-tension relationships in mammalian cardiac myocytes that was dependent upon protein kinase A (PKA)-induced myofibrillar phosphorylation....
