Cardiac reflections and natural vibrations: Force-frequency relation recording system in the stress echo lab

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The inherent ability of ventricular myocardium to increase its force of contraction in response to an increase in contraction frequency is known as the cardiac force-frequency relation (FFR). This relation can be easily obtained in t...
