摘要: Endocardial and coronary vascular endothelial cells release substances that modify the contraction of cardiac myocytes. The major possibly sole up-regulating substance is endothelin. Several down-regulating are secreted, but none has yet been specifically identified. relative amounts up- related to tissue oxygen tension. As pO2 rises, concentration substances, respectively, increases decreases. Endothelin isometric force decreases actomyosin ATPase activity thus increasing economy conversion chemical hydrodynamic energy. Beta-adrenergic agonists increase through an cell-dependent mechanism, leading decreased economy. Therefore, two systems exist for regulating contractile efficiency: One involving endothelin appears optimize efficiency; other, beta-adrenergic-mediated system, optimizes power.
