Calcium-Mediated Control of Cardiac Contractility at the Cellular Level

  • G. A. Langer
Chapter

Abstract

The heart modulates its force development by just two basic mechanisms:

  • The Frank-Starling response to changing preload, which involves change in end-diastolic fiber length as the primary intervention

  • A change in contractile state in which force changes without a primary change in diastolic fiber length.
