Revisiting the slow force response: The role of the PKG signaling pathway in the normal and the ischemic heart
Introduction: The myocardial response to acute stretch consists of a two-phase increase in contractility: an acute increase by the Frank-Starling mechanism and a gradual and time-dependent increase in force generated known as the slow force response (SFR). The SFR is actively modulated by different...
