Studies on left ventricular mechanical work and energetics in rat and mouse hearts are reviewed. First, left ventricular linear end-systolic pressure-volume relation (ESPVR) and curved end-diastolic pressure-volume relation (EDPVR) in canine hearts and left ventricular curved ESPVR and curved EDPVR in rat hearts are reviewed. Second, as an index for total mechanical energy per beat in rat hearts as in canine hearts, a systolic pressure-volume area (PVA) is proposed. By the use of our original system for measuring continuous oxygen consumption for rat left ventricular mechanical work, the linear left ventricular myocardial oxygen consumption per beat (VO2)-PVA relation is obtained as in canine hearts. The slope of VO2-PVA relation (oxygen cost of PVA) indicates a ratio of chemomechanical energy transduction. VO2 intercept (PVA-independent VO2) indicates the summation of oxygen consumption for Ca2+ handling in excitation-contraction coupling and for basal metabolism. An equivalent maximal elastance (eEmax) is proposed as a new left ventricular contractility index based on PVA at the midrange left ventricular volume. The slope of the linear relation between PVA-independent VO2 and eEmax (oxygen cost of eEmax) indicates changes in oxygen consumption for Ca2+ handling in excitation-contraction coupling per unit changes in left ventricular contractility. The key framework of VO2-PVA-eEmax can give us a better understanding for the biology and mechanisms of physiological and various failing rat heart models in terms of mechanical work and energetics.<br>
