Initial mechanical efficiency of isolated cardiac muscle.
The aim of this study was to determine whether the initial mechanical efficiency (ratio of work output to initial metabolic cost) of isolated cardiac muscle is over 60%, as has been reported previously, or whether it is approximately 30%, as suggested by an estimate based on the well-established net mechanical efficiency (ratio of work output to total, suprabasal energy cost) of 15%. Determinat...
متن کاملSome mechanical properties of isolated mammalian cardiac muscle.
Isolated preparations of mammalian cardiac muscle have been employed to study possible mechanisms responsible for changes in diastolic compliance. Muscles have been studied at rest and during isometric and afterloaded contractions, at fixed initial length and during programmed, cyclic changes in length, and under the influence of paired stimulation, catecholamines, and elevated extracellular ca...
متن کاملIsolated Cardiac Muscle
The mechanism of reentrant ventricular tachycardia was studied in computer simulations and in thin (z20x20x0.5-mm) slices of dog and sheep ventricular epicardial muscle. A two-dimensional matrix consisting of 96x96 electrically coupled cells modeled by the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations was used to analyze the dynamics of self-sustaining reentrant activity in the form of elliptical spiral waves indu...
متن کاملMechanical properties of isolated cardiac myocytes.
A wide variety of techniques have been developed to monitor the mechanical responses of isolated cardiac myocytes. The most successful are those that measure shortening in unattached cells. Because of their relative ease of implementation, edge-detector methods of following cell displacement have become most widespread. Laser diffraction techniques have been applied to the single heart cells, a...
متن کاملMyo-mechanical Analysis of Isolated Skeletal Muscle
To assess the in vivo effects of therapeutic interventions for the treatment of muscle disease, quantitative methods are needed that measure force generation and fatigability in treated muscle. We describe a detailed approach to evaluating myo-mechanical properties in freshly explanted hindlimb muscle from the mouse. We describe the atraumatic harvest of mouse extensor digitorum longus muscle, ...
