Ventricular systolic pressure-volume area (PVA) and contractile state (Emax) determine myocardial oxygen demand.

H. Suga, Y. Yasumura, T. Nozawa, 1988, Advances in experimental medicine and biology.

Efficiency of energy transfer from pressure-volume area to external mechanical work increases with contractile state and decreases with afterload in the left ventricle of the anesthetized closed-chest dog.
