abstract：OBJECTIVE:In isolated cardiac preparations of non-failing hearts from different species, including man, there is a positive force-frequency relation which is reversed into a negative relation in preparation from failing hearts. Whether or not such relations between ventricular function and heart rate hold true in the i...
