However, in patients with heart failure, the increased wall stress caused by ventricular dilation adds to the energy cost of cardiac contraction, so that the detrimental effects of increasing ventricular volume can outweigh the beneficial effects. In pathological conditions such as acute myocardial infarction, the ability of the left…
