contractility

Heat treatment may have effects on smooth muscle beyond contractility.

The result was that cardiac conductivity and contractility began to fall.

Together, these abnormalities lead to the decrease in muscle contractility.

However, changes in contractility alone generally do not occur.

Also, increased heart contractility is expected to increase peak systolic pressure.

Further, we found that contractility was enhanced, but heart rate was not.

Gall bladder contractility was present in 16 patients before the procedure.

The heart rate and contractility go back down over time and blood pressure decreases.

Increased end systolic volume is usually caused by reduced contractility.

An increase in heart rate will increase contractility (through the Bowditch effect).

They thus reduce the contractility of the heart, so may be inappropriate in heart failure.

This impaired contractility occurs through a number of mechanisms.

An increase in sympathetic stimulation to the heart increases contractility and heart rate.

Tissues can change their shape and separate into distinct layers via cell contractility.

Our experiments suggest that temperatures of 43 C and above can alter arterial contractility.

Normalizing energy metabolism in these hearts reversed the impaired contractility.

NO contributes to the regulation of cardiac contractility.

Thus, it increases heart rate and contractility.

The heart was found to have improved contractility and a reduction in the damaged area four weeks after the stem cells were applied.

"Contractility" describes how well the heart muscle squeezes.

Myocardial contractility represents the intrinsic ability of the heart/myocardium to contract.

The resulting increase in contractility is speculated to be due to the increased Mg binding affinity.

Because it only encodes the strain (contractility), the exact motion of the tissue cannot be followed.

This increase in calcium influx permits increased contractility.

We have not yet investigated whether the iron deficient heart will similarly lose the augmented contractility response in time.
