Collagen degradation is suggested to be responsible for long-term contractile dysfunction in different cardiomyopathies, but the effects of acute and specific collagen type I removal (main type in the heart muscle) on tension have not been studied. We determined the diastolic and developed tension length relations in isometric contracting perfused rat papillary muscles (perfusion pressure 60 cmH(2)O) before and after acute and specific removal of small collagen struts with the use of purified collagenase type I. At 95% of the maximal length (95% L-max), diastolic tension increased 20.4+/-8.1% (P
