Abstract
The normally positive cardiac force-frequency relationship (FFR) becomes flat or negative in chronic heart failure (HF). Here we explored if remodeling of the cardiomyocyte transverse tubular system (t-system) is associated with alterations in FFR and contractile kinetics in failing human myocardium. Left-ventricular myocardial slices from 13 failing human hearts were mounted into a biomimetic culture setup. Maximum twitch force (F), 90%...
