Normalized end-systolic myocardial stiffness serves as a load-independent index of ventricular contractility in the developing embryonic chick ventricle.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports load-independent contractility assessment in embryonic models; leaves open translation to mammalian or human ventricles.
Tobita et al. (1999) studied this question.
