Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study parameters are the correlation between the different measures for contractility and compliance from the strain-area loop and the pressure-volume loop. • The relation between the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship (ESPVR) the slope of the systolic part of the strain-area loop (Sslope). • The relation between the end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship (EDPVR) the slope of the diastolic part of the strain-area loop during passive filling. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |

| • dP/dT of the pressure-volume loop • de maximale eind-systolische strain | — |
