Cardiac mechanical restitution curves which describe the time course of recovery of ventricular contractile strength following a steady-state beat were measured. In the 1st series of experiments, left ventricles that beat isovolumically were studied using dP/dtmax [maximum change in pressure over time] as a reliable index of contractile strength independent of the influence of changing ventricular pre- and afterload. The commencement of mechanical restitution was found to be associated with the onset of electrical diastole; thereafter, contractile strength rose monoexponentially to a plateau that was maintained for test pulse intervals as long as 15 s. The time constant of restitution (typically 245 ms) was independent of priming frequency and ventricular volume. These findings were interpreted in terms of a model of intracellular Ca fluxes within the myocardial cells. In a 2nd series of experiments, mechanical restitution curves from isolated ventricles that ejected against a simulated arterial impedance system were examined. Under this condition, the monoexponential time course of mechanical restitution as was measured under isovolumic conditions was not observed. The differences between the mechanical restitution curves measured under isovolumic and ejecting conditons may be attributed to the influences of changing hemodynamic conditions on dP/dtmax, causing it to be an unreliable index of contractile strength.
