This preclinical study demonstrates the length-tension relationship in cardiac muscle, showing that active force declines steeply as muscle length is reduced below optimal length (Lmax).

Reinforces length-tension principles in isolated cardiac muscle; leaves open translation to human myocardium.
Wohlfart et al. (1977) studied this question.
