to the editor: In their recent paper, Cornachione et al. ([1][1]) draw three major conclusions: 1 ) that cardiac myofibrils do not show static tension or residual force enhancement; 2 ) that static tension/residual force enhancement is directly related to titin isoforms; and 3 ) that static tension/
