Effect of prolonged space flight on cardiac function and dimensions [PDF]
Echocardiographic studies were performed preflight 5 days before launch and on recovery day and 1, 2, 4, 11, 31 and 68 days postflight. From these echocardiograms measurements were made.

Estimation of elastic and viscous properties of the left ventricle based on annulus plane harmonic behavior [PDF]
Assessment of left ventricular (LV) function with an emphasis on contractility has been a challenge in cardiac mechanics during the recent decades. The LV function is usually described by the LV pressurevolume (P-V) diagram. The standard P-V diagrams

The architecture of the left ventricular myocytes relative to left ventricular systolic function [PDF]
Objective: Mural thickening, combined with longitudinal and circumferential shortening, and apical along with basal twisting are critical components of the left ventricular systolic deformation that contribute to ventricular ejection.
