The multicellular organismal process by which the heart decreases in volume in a characteristic way to propel blood through the body. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a multicellular organismal process, the processes pertinent to the function of a multicellular organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. The flow of blood through the body of an animal, enabling the transport of nutrients to the tissues and the removal of waste products. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a system process, a multicellular organismal process carried out by any of the organs or tissues in an organ system. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of heart contraction. Heart contraction is the process by which the heart decreases in volume in a characteristic way to propel blood through the body. A circulatory system process carried out by the heart. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood. A multicellular organismal process carried out by any of the organs or tissues in an organ system. An organ system is a regularly interacting or interdependent group of organs or tissues that work together to carry out a biological objective. Any process that modulates the frequency or rate of heart contraction. Any process that modulates the extent of heart contraction, changing the force with which blood is propelled. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cardiac muscle contraction. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of heart contraction during the acute phase response. The acute phase response occurs during the early phases of an infection and is marked by changes in the production of plasma proteins such as C-reactive protein. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of heart contraction. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of heart contraction.
