Key result
Regional end-systolic and maximal LV wall stress were heterogeneous, increasing from apex to base (P<0.001) and varying by specific wall (anterior > lateral and posterior; P=0.002).
p-value: p=<0.001

Heterogeneous LV wall stress may underlie regional remodeling; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
DeAnda et al. (1998) studied Left ventricular wall stress (n=14). Inotropic stimulation (calcium) vs. Baseline conditions was evaluated on Regional end-systolic and maximal LV wall stress (p=<0.001). Regional end-systolic and maximal LV wall stress were heterogeneous, increasing from apex to base (P<0.001) and varying by specific wall (anterior > lateral and posterior; P=0.002).
