Muscle size explains low passive skeletal muscle force in heart failure patients

© 2016 Panizzolo et al. Background. Alterations in skeletal muscle function and architecture have been linked to the compromised exercise capacity characterizing chronic heart failure (CHF). However, how passive skeletal muscle force is affected in CHF is not clear. Understanding passive force chara...
