PVA reliably indexes myocardial VO2 in canine hearts; leaves open translation to human cardiac energetics.
Left ventricular systolic pressure-volume area (PVA), as the sum of external mechanical work and end-systolic elastic potential energy, reliably predicts cardiac oxygen consumption per beat in dog hearts.
Suga et al. (1981) studied this question.
