Abstract

This study demonstrated that a crossbridge model incorporating multiple shortening steps per ATP hydrolysis cycle is consistent with experimental observations of myocardial dynamic stiffness for oscillation amplitudes that are large (i.e., up to 6%) relative to the molecular scale. Such a model also appears consistent with cardiac energetics, and may offer an improved representation of myocardial actomyosin kinetics.
