Figure 7
From: Passive and active ventricular elastances of the left ventricle
Pressure, active elastance E a , and passive elastance E p and total E = E a + E p for the data of figure 2. Pressure, active elastance Ea, passive elastance Ep, and total E = (E a + E p ) for the sample subject shown in Figure 2. In this figure, 1–5 represents the isovolumic contraction phase, 5–17 represents the ejection phase, and 17–21 represents the isovolumic relaxation phase, 21–37 represents the diastolic filling phase.
