we conclude from these data that lv chamber elastance calculated with radionuclide angiography has an independent relation with lvedv , that a mathematical standardization of emax for heart size does not significantly alter the dichotomization of patients with cardiac pathology into those with preserved and depressed lv systolic performance , and that heart size makes a relatively small contribution to the reduction in this index of lv systolic performance .
