Figure 4From: Gender differences in myocardial function and arterio-ventricular coupling in response to maximal exercise in adolescent floor-ball players The end-diastolic pressure volume relationship (EDPVR) in male and female participants before and after maximal cardiopulmonary testing. The end-diastolic left ventricular (LV) pressure (LVEDP) was considered to equal the pulmonary wedge pressure and was estimated non-invasively by a previously described equation. LV end-diastolic stiffness illustrated by the EDPVR slope (solid lines) was similar for both sexes at baseline and was essentially unaltered following exercise.Back to article page
