Normal hearts operate at ventricular function plateau; hypothesis-generating for non-preload control of output and requires validation in disease.
The normal human heart in a resting, supine position operates at the peak of the ventricular function curve, suggesting cardiac output is controlled by factors other than ventricular filling pressure.
Parker et al. (1979) studied this question.
