The cellular basis of the length-dependent increases in contractile force in the beating heart has remained unclear. Our aim was to investigate whether length-dependent mediated increases in contractile force are correlated with myosin head proximity to actin. laments, and presumably the number of cross-bridges activated during a contraction. We therefore employed x-ray diffraction analyses of beat-to-beat contractions in spontaneously beating rat hearts under open-chest conditions simultaneous with recordings of left ventricle (LV) pressure-volume. Regional x-ray diffraction patterns were recorded from the anterior LV free wall under steady-state contractions and during acute volume loading (intravenous lactate Ringers infusion at 60 ml/h,
