Load dependence of tau warrants cautious clinical interpretation; leaves open translation to human diastolic assessment.
In an in situ dog model, both the level of afterload and the loading sequence of the left ventricle are key determinants of the time constant of isovolumic pressure fall when contractility is unchanged.
Su et al. (1991) studied this question.
