We have previously shown in the normally ejecting canine left ventricle thatE(t), the time-varying ratio of instantaneous pressure,P(t), to instantaneous volume,V(t), is little affected by end-diastolic volume or aortic pressure. The present study on an excised, supported canine heart preparation indicates that the thesis onE(t) is also valid for either totally isovolumic or auxobaric beats. Intraventricular volume was measured more accurately than it was in the previous study by a new volumetric system. Regression analysis of the data showed that the instantaneous pressure-volume relationship could be approximated by the equationP(t) =E(t).[V(t) -Vd], whereVdis an empirical constant, over a wide range of intraventricular volume. SimilarE(t) curves were obtained from both isovolumic and auxobaric beats for a given contractile state. When the contractile state of the preparation was enhanced by a constant-rate infusion (0.2 µg/min) of norepinephrine or isoproterenol into the coronary artery, the peak magnitude ofE(t) increased 63% from 3.6 mm Hg/ml and the time to peakE(t) shortened 10% from 175 msec. We conclude that the present investigation substantiates our earlier study which established a link betweenE(t) and the contractile state of the heart.
