MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An inotropic effect is when medication changes the contractility of the heart. A positive inotrope increases contractility. A negative inotrope decreases contractility. 2. A chronotropic effect is when medication changes the heart rate (how fast the heart beats).

Detailed explanation-2: -Inotropic agents, or inotropes, are medicines that change the force of your heart’s contractions. There are 2 kinds of inotropes: positive inotropes and negative inotropes. Positive inotropes strengthen the force of the heartbeat. Negative inotropes weaken the force of the heartbeat.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inotropes are drugs that tell your heart muscles to beat or contract with more power or less power, depending on whether it’s a positive or negative inotrope. Positive inotropes can help when your heart can’t get enough blood to your body because it is too weak to pump the amount of blood your body needs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Inotropy and contractility are essential synonymous-inotropes are agents that increase contractility. the slope of the end-systolic pressure volume relationship (ESPVR) curve indicates the maximum rate of force development by the ventricle.
