The right ventricle exhibits lower diastolic tolerance to acute afterload elevations compared to the left ventricle, a finding associated with lower NCX gene expression.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
RV diastolic intolerance to afterload in animal hearts is hypothesis-generating; human studies needed to test NCX expression and clinical relevance.
Henriques‐Coelho et al. (2006) studied this question.
