‘Hypercapnia can also decrease respiratory muscle contractility, leading to a vicious circle of carbon dioxide retention.’
‘Activation of the adrenergic system triggers the release of catecholamines, which stimulate contractility, heart rate, and blood pressure and promote myocyte hypertrophy.’
‘Studies performed in undernourished patients without respiratory disease have suggested that malnutrition may impair skeletal muscle contractility.’
‘Decrease myocardial oxygen demand by decreasing heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and contractility.’
‘The muscular layers create vein contractility, which maintains venous tone.’
