The Cellular Basis for Enhanced Volume-modulated Cardiac Output in Fish Hearts
During vertebrate evolution there has been a shift in the way in which the heart varies cardiac output (the product of heart rate and stroke volume). While mammals, birds, and amphibians increase cardiac output through large increases in heart rate and only modest increases (∼30%) in stroke volume,...
