Abstract
A new analytical model of the ventricle as a pump, embodied as a volume-dependent isovolumic pressure source, was tested over a range of loading conditions. Results suggest that Starling´s Law of the Heart is a direct result of the ventricle´s isovolumic properties, rather than an independent mechanical property
