myocardial contractility
1Contractility — Myocardial contractility is the intrinsic ability of the heart to contract independent of preload and afterload. Changes in the ability to produce force during contraction result from different degrees of binding between myosin (thick) and actin… …
2Myocardial depressant factor — (MDF) is a low molecular weight peptide[1] released from the pancreas into the blood in mammals during various shock states. [2] MDF is a significant mediator of shock pathophysiology, reducing myocardial contractility, constricting splanchnic… …
3Inotrope — An inotrope (pronEng|ˈaɪnətroʊp) is an agent that alters the force or energy of muscular contractions. Negatively inotropic agents weaken the force of muscular contractions. Positively inotropic agents increase the strength of muscular… …

10Lusitropy — is a term used to describe myocardial relaxation. The increase in calcium uptake by cardiomyocytes leads to increased myocardial contractility (positive inotropic effect), but the myocardial relaxation, or lusitropy, decreases. PositiveIncreased… …
