indices derived from the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship (ESPVR) and preload recruitable stroke work (PRSW) in man. We investigated 60 patients, 39 with normal (EF s: 50%, group 1) and 21 with decreased ventricular function (EF < 50%, group 2). Variably loaded P-V loops were constructed by conductance catheters with vena caval occlusions. The slope
