A STUDY OF INOTROPIC MECHANISMS IN THE PAPILLARY MUSCLE PREPARATION

Abstract

The length-tension diagram, the force-velocity relation, the characteristics of the series elasticity, and the duration of the active state have been studied on the papillary muscle preparation of the cat heart, and on other examples of cardiac muscle. Positive inotropic changes such as the staircase phenomenon and post-extrasystolic potentiation occur without lengthening, but frequently with shortening, of the duration of the active state. They are accompanied by an increased velocity of contraction, and may be caused either by an intensification of the active state or by an alteration of the force-velocity characteristics of the contractile component. The changes in the force-velocity relation point to an adaptation of the velocity-efficiency relation in dependence on the frequency of contraction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
