Developed pressure data may provide misinformation when used alone to evaluate systolic function in isovolumetric left ventricle preparations

We report data showing that developed pressure (DPmax) may lead to opposite conclusion with respect to maximal developed circumferential wall stress (<FONT FACE="Symbol">s</FONT>max) when used to assess contractile function in left ventricle isovolumic preparations. Isovolumetr...
