Thermodynamic phase plane analysis of ventricular contraction and relaxation

BACKGROUND: Ventricular function has conventionally been characterized using indexes of systolic (contractile) or diastolic (relaxation/stiffness) function. Systolic indexes include maximum elastance or equivalently the end-systolic pressure volume relation and left ventricular ejection fraction. Di...
