Answer
Otto Frank and Ernest Starling shared the nomenclature of their famous law, which is known as the Frank-Starling law. The law states that the force of contraction of the heart muscle (contractility) is directly proportional to the stretch of the muscle fibers, which is in turn directly proportional to the volume of blood returning to the heart (venous return).
