In honor of these two early pioneers, the ability of the heart to change its force of contraction and therefore stroke volume in response to changes in venous return is called the Frank-Starling mechanism (or Starling's Law of the heart).

2023年1月30日 · The Frank-Starling mechanism plays a role in the compensation of systolic heart failure, buffering the fall in cardiac output to help preserve sufficient blood pressure to perfuse the vital organs. Heart failure caused by the impaired contractile function of the left ventricle causes a downward shift of the left ventricular performance curve.

The Frank–Starling law of the heart (also known as Starling's law and the Frank–Starling mechanism) represents the relationship between stroke volume and end diastolic volume. [1] The law states that the stroke volume of the heart increases in response to an increase in the volume of blood in the ventricles , before contraction (the end ...

2023年7月4日 · Mechanism. The best depiction of the mechanism of the Frank-Starling relationship is the length-tension relationship (image 1) established by Gordon et al. in 1966. Image 1 illustrates that the active tension generated by muscle contraction is a function of the passive tension provided by stretching the myofibrils.

2020年6月14日 · The Frank-Starling mechanism is an intrinsic cardiac autoregulatory mechanism. It ensures that stroke volume changes in proportion to the change in end-diastolic volume. The molecular mechanism is thought to be related to increased calcium sensitivity due to decreased inter-sarcomere distance.

The Frank-Starling law is an important part of our understanding of the human heart's physiology. In this article, we will learn about the various facets of the law, and how the heart deals with changes in the rate of blood flow.

2023年7月16日 · Starling’s law states that: the more the heart chambers fill, the stronger the ventricular contraction, and therefore the greater the stroke volume. Therefore, a rise in central venous pressure will result in an increased stroke volume automatically.

The Frank-Starling mechanism is a physiological principle that explains how the heart responds to changes in venous return. Increases in venous return cause the heart's chambers to fill with more blood, which then causes the heart to stretch and contract more forcefully, and pump more blood out to the rest of the body .

The Frank-Starling mechanism is a fundamental regulatory property which underlies the cardiac output adaptation to venous filling. Length-dependent activation is generally assumed to be the cellular origin of this mechanism.

We “revive” a century of scientific research on the heart’s fundamental protein constituents (contractile proteins), to their assemblies in the muscle (the sarcomeres), culminating in a thorough overview of the several synergistically events that …
