Physiological loading of isolated mammalian cardiac muscle.
Cat papillary muscles were subjected to a complex loading function resulting from an analysis of the heart as a pump. The papillary muscle was assumed to be a hypothetical bundle of circumferential muscle fibers in the wall of a simplified cylindrical ventricle. The loading included inertial, resistive, and capacitive components of the cardiovascular system. Changes of ventricular dimensions we...
متن کاملUniform sarcomere shortening behavior in isolated cardiac muscle cells
We have observed the dynamics of sarcomere shortening and the diffracting action of single, functionally intact, unattached cardiac muscle cells enzymatically isolated from the ventricular tissue of adult rats. Sarcomere length was measured either (a) continuously by a light diffraction method or (b) by direct inspection of the cell's striated image as recorded on videotape or by cinemicroscopy...
متن کاملShortening of cardiac action potential duration near an insulating boundary.
It is known, from both experiments and simulations, that cardiac action potentials are shortened near a non-conducting boundary. In the present paper, this effect is studied in a simple, two-current ionic model, with propagation restricted to a 1D fibre. An asymptotic approximation for the dependence of action potential duration on distance to the boundary is derived. This estimate agrees well ...
متن کاملThe effects of shortening on myoplasmic calcium concentration and on the action potential in mammalian ventricular muscle.
When cardiac muscle shortens during a contraction, the duration of mechanical activity is abbreviated (shortening deactivation), but the duration of the action potential is prolonged. Neither of these phenomena is fully understood, but both may be related to changes in the myoplasmic free calcium concentration. In these experiments, isolated papillary muscles from cats and ferrets were allowed ...
