Enhanced contractility during relaxation of cat papillary muscle.

Contractility during relaxation of isometric tension was studied in isolated, electrically driven cat papillary muscle by interpolation of test extrasystoles, all of whichpartially fused with their antecedent (control) contractions, were separated by computer from the fused contractions and then analyzed. The time course of the restitutionof contractility during relaxation was defined by plotting maximal positive dT/dt andtime-to-peak tension of the computer-separated extrasystole versus delay preceding the extrasystole. The dT/dt and time-to-peak tension, which steadily decline with progressive prematurity between contractions, both increase again during late relaxation, become progressively greater still earlier in relaxation, peak shortly after peak isometric tension, and then again decline. This phase of an apparently enhanced contractilityduring relaxation is depressed in low Ca'++ and is transmitted into the postextrasystolic period (in which it is superimposed on the usual postextrasystolic potentiation). The possible contributions of variations in series-elastic component and contractile-element lengths, actionpotential characteristics, and other factors on contractility during relaxation are discussed. It is suggested that enhanced contractility during relaxation may also be related in part to the decay of the intracellular free Ca'++ transient.
