Abstract
The potential cardiac assistance obtained from skeletal muscle ventricles (SMVs) is dependent on optimizing SMV pumping performance. Stimulation frequency, pulse train duration and the number of stimuli delivered to the muscle effect SMV performance. Results indicate that for a fixed number of stimuli, there exists an optimum combination of stimulation frequency and pulse train duration for SMV ejection
