Example of left ventricular pressure volume loops obtained via preload reduction with inferior vena cava balloon occlusion (IVCBO; top left) and Valsalva maneuver (top right). Relationship of end-systolic elastance (bottom left) and preload recrutiable stroke work (bottom right) by each preload reduction method (n=20 for each).
