Abstract
Inquiry into the dynamics of cardiac function has been of central importance to the development of cardiac physiology. This area of investigation not only has furthered our basic understanding of myocardial performance but also has improved the care of patients with cardiac disease. Much of the current therapy of cardiac disorders is based on scientific principles painstakingly unravelled in physiology laboratories over the past century.
