Myocardial stiffness derived from end-systolic wall stress and logarithm of reciprocal of wall thickness. Contractility index independent of ventricular size.
K Nakano, M Sugawara, K Ishihara, S Kanazawa… - Circulation, 1990 - Am Heart Assoc
The slope of the end-systolic pressure-volume relation (ESPVR) is useful in assessing acute
changes in contractile state. However, a limitation of ESPVR is that its slope decreases …
