Starling's Law or the Frank-Starling Law of the heart.

View page

The Frank-Starling law of the heart (also known as Starling's law or the Frank-Starling mechanism) states that the greater the volume of blood entering the heart during diastole (end-diastolic volume), the greater the volume of blood ejected during systolic contraction (stroke volume) and vice-versa.

This allows the cardiac output to be synchronized with the venous return, arterial blood supply and humeral length[1] without depending upon external regulation to make alterations.

Frank-Starling's law of the heart states that the stroke volume of the heart increases in response to an increase in the volume of blood received by the heart during diastole. This relationship helps to maintain cardiac output and ensure adequate blood flow to meet the body's demands.

Frank Starling's law of the heart refers to a length-tension relationship of cardiac muscle cells. As ventricles fill with blood, the extra blood causes a stretch of the muscle cells known as end diastolic volume. The greater the stretch, within limits, the greater the contractile force, and therefore the greater the ability to eject blood from the ventricles (end systolic volume) to the great vessels, pulmonary trunk or aorta.
