Does not inform clinical management; leaves open translation of shortening deactivation to intact human ventricles.
In canine papillary muscles, isotonic force is lower than isometric force at identical end-systolic lengths, likely due to shortening deactivation and viscous properties.
Suga et al. (1977) studied this question.
