Length and PKA Dependence of Force Generation and Loaded Shortening in Porcine Cardiac Myocytes by Kerry S. McDonald, Laurin M. Hanft, Timothy L. Domeier, Craig A. Emter

“…PKA increased myocyte power and yielded greater shortening-induced cooperative deactivation in myocytes, which likely provides a myofibrillar mechanism to assist ventricular relaxation. Overall, the bimodal distribution of myocyte length-tension relationships and the PKA-mediated changes in myocyte length-tension and power are likely important modulators of Frank-Starling relationships in mammalian hearts.…”
