The acoustic characteristics of the left ventricle.
A new method was developed to describe the instantaneous resonance curve (IRC) of the left ventricle (LV), which represents the acoustic characteristics and instantaneous viscoelastic properties of LV. This method was evaluated using coronary-perfused isolated canine LV preparations.
