Background A noninvasive measure of left ventricular (LV) chamber stiffness (K-LV) would be clinically useful. Our theoretical analysis predicts that K-LV can be calculated from the time for deceleration of LV early filling (t(dec)) byK-LV=rho . L/A .(pi/2 . 1/t(dec))(2)where rho=density of blood, L=effective mitral length, and A=mitral area.Methods and Results We tested this hypothesis in eight conscious dogs instrumented for measurement of LV pressure (P) with use of a micromanometer and volume (V) with use of sonomicrometers. K-LV was determined as the slope of the late diastolic portion of the LV P-V loop. K-LV was varied from 0.99+/-0.35 to 2.58+/-0.92 mm Hg/mL with use of three graded doses of phenylephrine. We assumed that rho=1.0 and that L/A=3.4. Thus, we predicted that K-LV=(0.08/t(dec))(2). The LV filling pattern was determined from the derivative of LV volume (dV/dt). t(dec) was measured from peak early filling to the end of early filling. Predicted K-LV and actual K-LV were closely correlated (r=.94, SEE=0.06 mm Hg/mL, P
