RV-LV interdependence unlikely to produce large LV shifts except at supranormal RV volumes; leaves open pericardial effects in human pathophysiology.
Does right ventricular filling affect the pressure-volume relationship of the left ventricle in an isolated canine heart model?
Ventricular interdependence is unlikely to lead to large acute pressure-volume shifts in the left ventricle except in the presence of considerably above normal right ventricular volumes.
Maughan et al. (1981) studied this question.
