Correlations observed between individual cumulated inspiratory work of breathing and the corresponding percent changes in right atrial volume (a), rise in TAPSE (b), in RV/LV ratio (c), and the final plasma Nt-proANP concentration (d), during the fin exercise dive with negative transpulmonary pressure. cWOB insp, cumulated inspiratory work of breathing; ∆RA area, change in right atrial area; ∆TAPSE, change in tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion; RV/LV, ratio of right to left ventricles end-diastolic area; Nt-proANP, plasma concentration of Nt-proANP
