Cardiac work, s/l eee by u prime. See message.
Subject: Cardiac work, s/l eee by u prime. See message.

So, looking for the lowest preload for each patient and aligning the lowest preload measure as ebyuu* prime reflects for each patient along each other, we saw in fact a U-shaped curve indicating that for each patient there is a unique AV delay that provides the best hemodynamic and contractile status for this patient, and that if you increase the AV delay over and above the optimum AV delay for each patient, you have a deterioration in the preload with an increase in *ebyuu prime*, and if you shorten it as well, you have an increase as well, so you have this U-shaped curve.
