The end-systolic pressure-volume relationship was determined in 6 patients in atrial fibrillation undergoing cardiac catheterization for diagnostic purposes and 4 control patients in sinus rhythm undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The normal positive relationship between end-systolic pressure and volume was found in the control patients, but no such positive relationship was found in any patient in atrial fibrillation. In the latter, the slopes of the linear regressions were either not significantly different from zero or significantly negative (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    values &lt;0.08), both results indicating a change in contractility from beat to beat.
