Changes in inotropy also alter the force-velocity relationship. If the inotropic state of the cardiac fiber is increased, there is a parallel shift in the force-velocity curve such that there is an increase in both V max and in maximal isometric force (F max) (figure 3).hanges in inotropy also alter the force-velocity relationship.
