P1: XB stiffness; ktr: rate of force redevelopment; krel: rate of XB detachment; kdf: rate of XB recruitment. Independent t-tests were used to compare the data between WT and KO groups and paired t-tests were used to compare the data between pre- and post-OM treatment with in the same group. 13–16 preparations were analyzed from 5 WT hearts, and 17–18 preparations were analyzed from 7 KO hearts, with multiple preparations from each heart. Values are expressed as mean ± S.E.M.

Significantly different from the corresponding WT within each group; P < 0.05.

Significantly different from the corresponding pre-OM group; P < 0.05.
