Abstract A mathematical theory of the dynamics of the myocardium based on the concept of body forces is applied to account for two different experimental results. The first result consists of a relation between oxygen consumption and the kinetic energy of the myocardium. The second set of results provides a consistent interpretation of the relationship between different indices used to assess the ventricular performance.
