[Tension-volume relationship of the wall of the isolated right ventricle].
The variations of tension on the wall of the isolated right verticle have been observed on 18 dogs. The Tension/Volume curve we got can be superimposed to that obtained by pressures. The wall of the right ventricle itself (the radius of the curve in the cavity and the wall-thickness) seems to vary only with the changes in its tension in a rather small part of the curve.
