Supports ESPVR height for LV contractility assessment in animals; leaves open clinical translation.
The heights of the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship and pressure-volume area-volume relationship curves can effectively evaluate left ventricular contractility mechanoenergetically.
Tachibana et al. (1997) studied this question.
