Binge Alcohol Decreases Load-Independent Indices of Left Ventricular Function

(A) Pressure-volume (P-V) loops of control and alcohol-binged mice after gradual preload reduction obtained by vena cava inferior occlusion. Red lines indicate the slope of end-systolic P-V relationship; blue lines display the slope of end-diastolic P-V relationship. (B) Load-independent indices of LV performance: end-systolic elastance (Ees), the dP/dtmax-end-diastolic volume (EDV) relation and preload recruitable stroke work (PRSW). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 7 to 8; *p < 0.05 vs. control group. Abbreviation as in Figure 1.
