Herz - Kontraktionskraft
Figure 3: In human myocardium force of contraction increases with the frequency. This is, however, only true for a normal, non-failing myocardium. In heart failure the force of contraction decreases with increasing frequency of contraction. Thus, a high heart rate may lead to deterioration of the patient.
