Modified area method to compute compliance. (a) The beginning of the diastolic phase is usually defined at the first dicrotic peak (black arrow) and the corresponding area is shaded in (b). We used the conductance catheter to identify the moment when there is no outflow from the ventricle (large gray arrow) and started the diastole at the corresponding pressure recording, which enlarged the diastolic area shaded in (c).
