“…1,2 It is currently being evaluated as a therapeutic option for patients with congestive heart failure. [3][4][5][6][7][8] In the early clinical trials, despite significant subjective clinical improvements, objective benefits were inconsistently noted. [3][4][5] Most previous studies focused on improvement of the heart's systolic function measured as ejection fraction, systolic pressure, stroke volume, cardiac output, or the load-independent contractility index, E max .…”

“…[3][4][5] Most previous studies focused on improvement of the heart's systolic function measured as ejection fraction, systolic pressure, stroke volume, cardiac output, or the load-independent contractility index, E max . 7,9,10 When patients showed significant improvement of their symptoms without improvement of objective parameters, it was unclear whether it was attributable to a placebo effect or other factors not evaluated. The efficiency of the energy transfer from the total mechanical energy to external work in each beat could be an important factor in improving a patient's symptoms.…”
