Increased heart rate enhances cardiac contractility and accelerates relaxation. Both the force- and relaxation-frequency relationships are critical to myocardial function, especially during stress, and have been shown to be impaired in senescent myocardium. While senescent myocardium is characterized by decreased sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase activity it is unclear if altered calcium regulation is directly responsible for the attenuated contractility and relaxation observed with increasing pacing frequency in aged myocardium.We examined this issue using freshly dissociated left ventricular myocytes, isolated from young adult and senescent mouse hearts. Myocytes were paced from 2 to 9 Hz at 37 degreesC, and cell shortening and [Ca2+](i) were simultaneously measured using video edge-detection and fura-2 fluorescence, respectively. In adult myocytes, increasing the pacing rate resulted in a progressive increase in percent cell shortening (CS) (P
