Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of muscle contraction. The multicellular organismal process by which the heart decreases in volume in a characteristic way to propel blood through the body. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of cardiac muscle contraction. 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. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of striated muscle contraction. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cardiac muscle contraction. A process whereby force is generated within striated muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. Force generation involves a chemo-mechanical energy conversion step that is carried out by the actin/myosin complex activity, which generates force through ATP hydrolysis. Striated muscle is a type of muscle in which the repeating units (sarcomeres) of the contractile myofibrils are arranged in registry throughout the cell, resulting in transverse or oblique striations observable at the level of the light microscope. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of striated muscle contraction. Muscle contraction of cardiac muscle tissue.
