Figure 6 From RV Overload to Loss of Stroke Volume

Flowchart of the proposed mechanism by which RV overload relates to a left-to-right delay in peak shortening, which relates to the loss of stroke volume in PAH. Only correlations were studied, so the cause-effect relationships in this flowchart are only a tentative postulated model. Abbreviations as in Figure 2.
