No immediate clinical implications; leaves open dominant regulators of smooth muscle velocity and human relevance.
In rabbit stomach smooth muscle cells, unloaded shortening velocity correlates with the percentage of SMB myosin heavy chain expression, though other mechanisms likely also regulate shortening velocity.
Eddinger et al. (2001) studied this question.
