TL;DR
The acute decrease in LV volume in heart-failure patients following PLV resulted at short-term in unchanged SV, increases in LVEF, and decreases in peak wall stress, suggesting that the transition to a more uniform LV contraction and relaxation pattern might be a rationale of the working mechanism of PLV.
Abstract
The acute decrease in LV volume in heart-failure patients following PLV resulted at short-term in unchanged SV, increases in LVEF, and decreases in peak wall stress. The increase in LV synchrony with PLV suggests that the transition to a more uniform LV contraction and relaxation pattern might be a rationale of the working mechanism of PLV.
