abstract：:The afterload dependency of relaxation rate was reappraised in isolated canine hearts both in isovolumic and isobaric contractions by using the reliable exponential method in which the asymptote LV pressure (P chi) is variable. This method provided a closer correlation (r = 0.999 +/- 0.001) between the measured LV pre...
