  2. Myocardial contractility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_contractility

    Within an in vivo intact heart, the action/response of the sympathetic nervous system is driven by precisely timed releases of a catecholamine, which is a process that determines the concentration of calcium ions in the cytosol of cardiac muscle cells. The factors causing an increase in contractility work by causing an increase in intracellular ...

  3. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_physiology

    Many of the factors that regulate the heart rate also affect cardiac function by altering the stroke volume. While a number of variables are involved, stroke volume is dependent upon the difference between end diastolic volume and end systolic volume. The three primary factors involved are preload, afterload and contractility. [1]

  4. Cardiac muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_muscle

    Cardiac muscle (also called heart muscle or myocardium) is one of three types of vertebrate muscle tissues, the others being skeletal muscle and smooth muscle. It is an involuntary, striated muscle that constitutes the main tissue of the wall of the heart .

  5. Purkinje fibers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purkinje_fibers

    The Purkinje fibers are further specialized to rapidly conduct impulses (having numerous fast voltage-gated sodium channels and mitochondria, and fewer myofibrils, than the surrounding muscle tissue). Purkinje fibers take up stain differently from the surrounding muscle cells because of having relatively fewer myofibrils than other cardiac cells.

  6. Cardiac conduction system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_conduction_system

    The Purkinje fibers transmit the signals more rapidly to stimulate contraction of the ventricles. [2] The conduction system consists of specialized heart muscle cells, situated within the myocardium. [3] There is a skeleton of fibrous tissue that surrounds the conduction system which can be seen on an ECG.

  7. Regional function of the heart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_function_of_the_heart

    The myocytes of the heart (also called the myocardial fibers) are arranged in a general circumferential direction in the ventricles. In the left ventricle (LV), the fiber will change gradually in direction from a certain longitudinal-circumferential direction in the outer layer of the heart (epicardium) to another angulated direction almost orthogonal in the inner wall (endocardium), becoming ...
