Fmin, absolute stress value at pCa 8.0; Fabs, absolute stress value at pCa 4.8; Fdev, Ca2+-activated, developed stress (Tmax − Tmin); pCa50, nH, and Fmax (= maximal stress) represent fit parameters to a three-parameter Hill equation for the Fdev-pCa relationship; n strips, total number of technical replicates (4–7 per heart); n hearts, number of biological replicates.
