Stretch activation serves as an intrinsic length-sensing mechanism that allows for autonomous regulation of muscle function.
May inform cardiac autoregulation models; leaves open clinical relevance in human HF or arrhythmias.
Stretch activation is an intrinsic length-sensing mechanism that allows muscle to function with an autonomous regulation that reduces reliance on extrinsic regulatory systems. This autonomous regulation is most dramatic in asynchronous insect flight muscle and gives rise to wing beat frequencies
