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

“…Loaded-shortening and peak-normalized power output was similar at ~2.30 μm and ~1.90 μm even during activations with the same [Ca2+], implicating a myofibrillar mechanism that sustains myocyte power at lower preloads. PKA increased myocyte power and yielded greater shortening-induced cooperative deactivation in myocytes, which likely provides a myofibrillar mechanism to assist ventricular relaxation. …”
