The pressure-volume and stiffness-pressure relations in the isolated rabbit left ventricle
The Japanese Journal of Physiology
|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
A balloon was introduced into the isolated rabbit left ventricle with intraventricular volume being controlled by a feedback amplifier. Pressure-volume and stiffness-pressure relations were determined as intraventricular volume was changed. These ventricular relations were explained according to the theory of wall muscle mechanics.
