Mechanoelectric feedback does not contribute to the Frank-Starling relation in the rat and guinea pig heart
Mechanoelectric feedback (MEF) is the process by which mechanical forces on the myocardium can alter its electrical properties. The effect can be large enough to induce ectopic beats or fibrillation. However, the role of MEF at physiological levels of mechanical stress is not clear. We have investig...
