The pressure-volume and stiffness-pressure relations in the isolated rabbit left ventricle

T Okada et al. Jpn J Physiol. 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.
