Energy conversion efficiency in human left ventricle.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular mechanical efficiency is one of the most important measures of left ventricular pump performance. Several clinical studies, however, have shown that mechanical efficiency does not fall substantially as the heart fails. To clarify the insensitivity of mechanical efficiency to the change in pump performance, we analyzed human left ventricular mechanical efficiency, app...

Background. Left ventricular mechanical efficiency is one of the most important measures of left ventricular pump performance. Several clinical studies, however, have shown that mechanical efficiency does not fall substantially as the heart fails. To clarify the insensitivity of mechanical efficiency to the change in pump performance, we analyzed human left ventricular mechanical efficiency, ap...
متن کاملElectrokinetic energy conversion efficiency in nanofluidic channels.
We theoretically evaluate the prospect of using electrokinetic phenomena to convert hydrostatic energy to electrical power. An expression is derived for the energy conversion efficiency of a two-terminal fluidic device in terms of its linear electrokinetic response properties. For a slitlike nanochannel of constant surface charge density, we predict that the maximum energy conversion efficiency...
متن کاملEnergy conversion efficiency in nanotube optoelectronics.
We present theoretical performance estimates for nanotube optoelectronic devices under bias. Current-voltage characteristics of illuminated nanotube p-n junctions are calculated using a self-consistent nonequilibrium Green's function approach. Energy conversion rates reaching tens of percent are predicted for incident photon energies near the band gap energy. In addition, the energy conversion ...
متن کاملPassive Elasticity of the Human Left Ventricle
Pressure-volume (PV) and stress-strain relationships (a-e) were utilized for evaluation of stiffness changes in the human left ventricle. A total of 45 patients were studied with data available from routine cardiac catheterization. They were divided into eight groups from which five were chosen for statistical comparison. These were the groups of normal, idiopathic hypertrophy without obstructi...
