4. Example of pressure-volume loops during preload reduction.
Example of pressure-volume loops during preload reduction. Top, Subject who failed to increase cardiac output with dobutamine infusion, yet contractile indexes increase appropriately. Bottom, Another subject who did increase cardiac output as well as contractility during dobutamine infusion; however, in both, fall in stroke volume is evident.
