Frank-starling Relationship (Cardiovascular)

One of the mechanisms by which the heart can increase cardiac output. The heart muscle intrinsically increases its strength of contraction when its fibers are stretched. A plot of tension generated as a function of fiber length (EDV) is known as a Frank-Starling curve. Myocardial fiber stretch is increased by an increase in venous return (preload).
