contractility in a sentence
Examples
- Dopamine increases myocardial contractility and cardiac output, without changing heart rate, by signaling through dopamine receptors.
- Phosphorylation of these channels increases their permeability to calcium and increases the contractility of their respective cardiac myocytes.
- Giallauria et al . describe the success of cardiac contractility modulation and the further potential of the therapy.
- This is caused by the terminally differentiated heart muscle fibers increasing in size in an attempt to improve contractility.
- Hypercalcemia can result in an increase in heart rate and a positive inotropic effect ( increase in contractility ).
- It has been reported that improvement in heart contractility has occurred as a result of the induction of angiogenesis.
- Coronary artery perfusion pressure is reduced in peripheral vasodilation, which results in reduced blood pressure and reduced myocardial contractility.
- Inhibition of these receptors prevents a response to the sympathetic nervous system, leading to decreased heart rate and contractility.
- Furthermore, nicardipine does not intrinsically decrease myocardial contractility and may be useful in the management of congestive heart failure.
- Hyperdynamic precordium can also be due to hyperthyroidism, and thus indicates an increased cardiac contractility, with systolic hypertension.
