One innovative approach to managing heart failure is through Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM), a device-based therapy that aims to enhance the heart's contractility without causing excessive ...
It appears that in cardiac muscle an inotropic shift of V max of the contractile element cannot be distinguished from a shift due to change in fiber length, thus invalidating it as an index of ...
