Published: November 1994

The concept of external work reserve (EWR) related to the end-systolic pressure-volume relation in the left ventricle and introduced in previous publications is investigated. The potential clinical usefulness of indexes related to EWR as well as to different areas under the end-systolic pressure volume line (ESPVL) is indicated. The possibility of non-invasive clinical application of the results of this study is discussed.
