Abstract

The dynamic function of the left ventricle was described in terms of internal diameter, pressure, and flow in conscious sedated dogs at rest and during isoproterenol and metaraminol infusions. The diastolic pressure-diameter curve was sigmoidal in shape, negative in pressure in early diastole, and affected by viscous, and probably inertial, forces.
