Left ventricular length dependent activation in the isovolumetric rat heart.

abstract：AIMS:Ivabradine (Iva) has shown beneficial structural and functional effects in clinical and experimental heart failure (HF), but its action in combination with mechanical unloading (MU), such as during treatment with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD), is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effec...
