Abstract
An unappreciated change in pericardial pressure may alter the interpretation of measurements of left ventricular isovolumic relaxation and of the diastolic pressure-volume relationship both qualitatively and quantitatively. However, before these problems can be discussed it is necessary to define what is meant by pericardial pressure and to specify its magnitude.
