May bias LV volume estimates in canine balloon experiments; leaves open pressure-specific calibration standards for preclinical research.
The intraventricular balloon method for measuring left ventricular volume leaves a small unmeasured space of 1-2 ml depending on the intraballoon pressure in canine models.
Suga et al. (1979) studied this question.
