Why the study?
Does systolic pressure-volume area (PVA) reliably predict cardiac oxygen consumption (VO2) in canine left ventricles regardless of whether the contraction is isovolumic or ejecting?
Population
Canine left ventricles (n = 10 hearts, 32 pairs of contractions)
Comparison
Steady state entirely isovolumic contractions vs Variously ejecting contractions with equal…

Supports PVA as contraction-mode-independent VO2 predictor in canine LV; leaves open human translation and clinical adoption.
Does systolic pressure-volume area (PVA) reliably predict cardiac oxygen consumption (VO2) in canine left ventricles regardless of whether the contraction is isovolumic or ejecting?
Systolic pressure-volume area (PVA) is a reliable predictor of myocardial oxygen consumption in the canine left ventricle, independent of whether the contraction is isovolumic or ejecting.
