From: Non-linearity of end-systolic pressure–volume relation in afterload increases is caused by an overlay of shortening deactivation and the Frank–Starling mechanism

Figure 3

Examples of a pre- and afterload intervention. In both cases, a linear ESPVR (lin) and a bilinear ESPVR consisting of two linear regressions (bilin1 and bilin2) are shown. The end-systolic and end-diastolic points are shown as black dots and stars, respectively. (LVV left ventricular volume, LVP left ventricular pressure).
