A process whereby the extent of muscle contraction is reduced. Muscle relaxation can involve a number of processes including the removal of calcium from the cytoplasm to the sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen through the action of Ca2+ ATPases. In some muscles, calcium-independent pathways also play a role in muscle relaxation by decreasing the phosphorylation state of myosin light chain. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of striated muscle contraction. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cardiac muscle contraction. The process whereby the extent of cardiac muscle contraction is reduced. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cardiac muscle contraction. Muscle contraction of cardiac muscle tissue. A organ system process carried out at the level of a muscle. Muscle tissue is composed of contractile cells or fibers.
