In order to study the interrelationship between left ventricular afterload, estimated from the mean left ventricular wall stress, and the mechanical properties of the aorta, we have simultaneously measured systemic arterial compliance and left ventricular wall stress in 19 patients with congestive cardiomyopathy. The strong linear relationship between the ejection fraction of the left ventricle and systemic arterial compliance, and between left ventricular wall stress and systemic arterial compliance, suggests that systemic arterial compliance is an important determinant of left ventricular afterload and thus of left ventricular function.
为了研究根据左心室平均壁应力估算的左心室后负荷与主动脉力学特性之间的相互关系，我们同时测量了19例充血性心肌病患者的体动脉顺应性和左心室壁应力。左心室射血分数与体动脉顺应性之间，以及左心室壁应力与体动脉顺应性之间存在强烈的线性关系，这表明体动脉顺应性是左心室后负荷进而也是左心室功能的重要决定因素。
