Words similar to inotropy

Example sentences for: inotropy

How can you use “inotropy” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The mechanisms controlling calcium-induced inotropy are probably several fold, and include activation of protein kinase C [ 8 ] , of which several isoforms are calcium dependent.
In the perfused mouse heart, high perfusate calcium positive inotropy compared to dobutamine results in reduced myofilament calcium responsiveness, decreased energetic efficiency and is dependent in part on protein kinase C activation.
To study this we directly measured developed pressures, myocardial oxygen consumption and used a newly developed technique to measure intracellular calcium in perfused mouse hearts with the calcium sensitive fluorescent dye rhod-2 [ 6 7 ] during calcium-induced inotropy and with dobutamine.
In the present study, we hypothesized that energy consumption during altered inotropy is largely to related calcium handling.
In these studies EMD 57033 resulted in only small increases in myocardial oxygen consumption and this was felt related to the ability of EMD 57033 to increase inotropy without increasing calcium cycling (though intracellular calcium was not directly measured).
