Ventricular interdependence<br />
Plays Plays an an important important role role in right right ventricular ventricular function function<br />
In addition to a shared interventricular septum, there is<br />
continuity between the muscle fibers of the left and right<br />
ventricles, resulting in a mechanical union whereby left<br />
ventricular contraction augments right ventricular free wall<br />
contraction<br />
Experimental models have shown that 20 20% % to 40 40% % of RV<br />
systolic pressure and volume outflow results from left<br />
ventricular contraction<br />
