Diastolic suction should not inform assumptions on normal filling; leaves open its physiological role beyond abnormal states.
Does ventricular diastolic suction (vis a fronte) contribute to ventricular filling in animal models?
This review highlights that while ventricular diastolic suction occurs under specific conditions in animal models, its overall physiological significance for blood return remains unclear.
Gerhard A. Brecher (1958) studied this question.
