Correlation between contractility measures. Correlation analysis was performed on different combination of contractility measures in animals and patients. a All combinations of contractility measures in animals are compared using a matrix of correlation plots without non-significant variation between comparisons. For reference, the unity relationship for each metric is shown on the right most diagonal. b The correlation between systolic area and dP/dtmax in patients are also strong and consistent with animal results. Only dP/dtmax was available as a reference measurement in patient data analysis yielding this single correlation
