		The time-varying elastance model requires both ventricular volume and pressure to be measured during an ejecting beat, and therefore is a measure of both ventricular contractility and arterial properties.
		This new analytical function also permits computation of ventricular elastance as a true differential by taking the partial derivative of pressure divided by the partial derivative of volume.
		The resulting ventricular elastance curves are virtually independent of preload or arterial afterload, and reflect the contractile state of the ventricle (Palladino et al.,1998).

		Illustrated is the elastance (stiffness) of the left ventricle over a cardiac cycle in a 60 kg person, as seen in a normal person under resting conditions, a person with a maximally contractile ventricle, and a person with profound beta blockade or congestive heart failure.
		With maximal contractility, elastance rises more quickly than normal, and maximal stiffness, at end-systole, is twice the normal value.
		The elastance during diastole is lowest under conditions of maximal contractility, at least in this example.

		The concept of compliance or elastance was first employed for blood vessels [3], by relating incremental cross-section area (or volume) and transmural pressure.
		Later, the concept of a continuously varying compliance or elastance was adopted by a number of investigators with diverse variations [2,6,7].
		The variations of model-derived nonlinear passive and active elastances for the subject HEL are shown in Figure 7.

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Ventricular elastance was taken to be a monotonically increasing function of ventricular volume in order to include Starling's law: greater work done for larger end-diastolic volume.
		Both groups of investigators found compliance or elastance values that were positive, negative, zero or infinite during a single cardiac cycle.
		The time-varying elastance model assumes that all biochemical energy is stored in the elastance term.

		Volume shifts are avoided by standardizing body posture (sitting) and, when it is likely that shifts will occur, for instance when the breathing pattern is voluntarily modified or bronchoconstriction or dilation are induced, by completing the measurements by a determination of absolute lung volume.
		For the determination of pulmonary elastance and resistance, this is achieved by referring lung volumes to total lung capacity (TLC), and for airway resistance (body plethysmography) by measuring separately thoracic gas volume (TGV).
		A change in elastance or resistance does not indicate whether the cause of the alteration is organic or functional and, as far as the resistance is concerned, whether it is occurring in the central or in the peripheral airways.

		We compared four algorithms using least-squares regression for determining pulmonary resistance and dynamic elastance in subjects with emphysema, normals and asthmatics before and after bronchoconstriction.
		The four methods evaluated include: 1.) a single resistance and elastance 2.) separate resistances and elastances for each half breath 3.) separate inspiratory and expiratory resistances with a single elastance 4.) separate inspiratory and expiratory resistances, an expiratory volume interaction term and a single elastance.
		In subjects who are flow limited, method 2 gives a higher inspiratory resistance than would be computed by assuming the elastic pressure volume curve passes through the zero flow points.

		Use of maximal forced expiration to assess pulmonary health: maximal forced expiration can relate how well the lung is functioning by comparing lung volumes to predicted lung volumes.
		Decreased elastance (increased resistance) will diminish elastic recoil and will therefore decrease maximal expiratory flow.

		The time point in systole in turn sets the ventricular elastance, which in turn determines the ventricular volume.

		Furthermore, the duration of the tracheotomy procedure was not correlated with the percentage changes in the respiratory mechanics and blood gases.
		Calculating reactance is not meaningless, because although it reflects the elastance it is influenced by respiratory frequency, which in our measurements varied from 10 to 20 cycles/min.
		Changes in respiratory mechanics immediately after surgical tracheotomy might be important, especially in cases with an already increased elastance (for example in acute respiratory distress syndrome).

		Note that despite no significant further change in LV contractility from Group IIa to IIb, there was a significant decrease in total arterial elastance in Group IIa in comparison to Group I, with an increase in total arterial load on the LV in Group IIb.
		Group IIb demonstrates a deterioration in left ventricular-arterial coupling because of an increase in total arterial elastance, thereby double loading the LV and causing a marked deterioration in LV performance indicated by the decrease in normalized LV work.

		Cardiac output and mean arterial pressure were maintained throughout the simulation process by adjusting heart rate.
		Results of the simulation showed that as arterial elastance decreased from its initially estimated (physiologic) value, external work increased slightly and as elastance increased, external work decreased.
		In particular, we found that the arterial elastance was set at a point near that which would produce maximal external work.
