The concept of body force (force/unit volume of muscle), which has been suggested as an explanation for the mechanical contraction of the left ventricle, is now applied to the right ventricle. The results indicate that the same mathematical formalism can be applied to a description of the pressure-volume relation and the ejection mechanism in both the right and left ventricles.
