Figure 3 Comparison between left ventricular (LV) outflow tract acceleration (LVOTAcc) (y axis) calculated from peak aortic flow velocity/time to peak velocity and LV maximal elastance (Em) from pressure-volume loops (x-axis) in 82 hemodynamic conditions. Solid triangles = during change in loading conditions; open triangles = during acute coronary occlusion.
