I(Rothe) agree that the myocardial wall stress-strain (elastic)relationships provide the theoretical basis for understanding myocardial contraction. I would suggest "preload" and "afterload" are measurable and useful indices of the elastic state of the myocardium at the beginning and end of contraction. Our problem, and that of students, is the in meaning of "load."
