## Background: A decline in left ventricular (lv) ejection fraction in response to mental stress and exercise is regarded as an indicator of myocardial ischemia. in patients with lv dysfunction, the ejection fraction is sensitive to afterload, which increases during stress. thus, the effects of men
The left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) was studied in 17 healthy volunteers with a new ambulatory left ventricular function monitor. Heart rate, EF, and blood pressure measurements were made during rest, a psychiatric stress interview, cold exposure, exercise, and eating. An increase in EF was
