Length and PKA Dependence of Force Generation and Loaded Shortening in Porcine Cardiac Myocytes

In healthy hearts, ventricular ejection is determined by three myofibrillar properties; force, force development rate, and rate of loaded shortening (i.e., power). The sarcomere length and PKA dependence of these mechanical properties were measured in porcine cardiac myocytes. Permeabilized myocytes...
