Contractile function of cardiomyocytes isolated from LV and RV of sham-operated (Sh) and heart-failure (HF) rats. (A) Representative recordings of sarcomere shortening, (B) amplitude of sarcomere shortening, (C) time to peak contraction, (D) time to 90% of relaxation, (E) contraction rate, (F) relaxation rate. Data presented as median, Q1, Q3, max and min values, n = 10–20 cardiomyocytes per heart, 5 hearts per group.
