Fig 1 Preload recruitable stroke work (PRSW) is the global stroke work–end-diastolic volume relation. A representative linear relationship obtained during the course of a single vena caval occlusion is shown. The equation of the regression line is presented. (Lw = x-intercept; Mw = slope of the stroke work–end-diastolic volume relation; R2 = correlation coefficient of the line.)

Fig 2 Intrinsic myocardial function relationship. A representative linear relationship between myocardial power output (a derivation of unit myocardial power based on stress-strain relations) and end-diastolic circumferential strain is shown. Data were obtained during a single vena caval occlusion. (Lmp = x-intercept; Mmp = slope of the relationship; MPO = myocardial power output; R2 = correlation coefficient of the line.)
