Attenuated fatigue in slow twitch skeletal muscle during isotonic exercise in rats with chronic heart failure.

During isometric contractions, slow twitch soleus muscles (SOL) from rats with chronic heart failure (chf) are more fatigable than those of sham animals. However, a muscle normally shortens during activity and fatigue development is highly task dependent. Therefore, we examined the development of sk...
