Inotropic refers to the effects that a substance has on the force of contraction of the heart muscle. Positive inotropic effects increase the strength of the heart's contractions, while negative inotropic effects decrease it. Medications that have a positive inotropic effect are often used to treat heart failure or other conditions where the heart is not pumping effectively.
