The Autocrine/Paracrine Loop After Myocardial Stretch: Mineralocorticoid Receptor Activation
The stretch of cardiac muscle increases developed force in two phases. The first phase, which occurs rapidly, constitutes the well-known Frank-Starling mechanism and it is generally attributed to enhanced myofilament responsiveness to Ca2+. The second phase or slow force response (SFR) occurs gradua...
