Abstract
This 1978 meeting of the international Cardiovascular System Dynamics Society has provided a large number of papers on current endeavour relating to the study of muscle and chamber function of the heart, especially its left ventricle. I suspect, however, that the clinical members of the society in particular will consider that we are still quite far from understanding how best to study myocardial performance in man. Indeed the presence of so many reports to the society at this meeting on attempts to arrive at the truth through modelling experiments suggests that the basic scientists as well as the more applied of us still just do not know the answers in the intact healthy heart, let alone one affected by disease.
