Previous: Low LVF Ended
In the final
hypothesis the nitroglycerin corrects the high LAP for the time the
nitroglycerin is present. This implies the following time intervals:
- nitroglycerin
- normal LAP
(normal over the 4 hours)
- high LAP
(as constrained by PC)
- normal LAP
(as constrained by high LAP)
Now the high LAP is accounted for by low LVF, except that the end of the
high LAP does not determine the end of the high LVF, because the
nitroglycerin removes the causal relationship once it has begun.
Again, this is caused by the MI, which already is known to be true
over the time interval 
. Since effects can not precede
causes, this constrains the low LVF, high LAP, and PC.
The PC must have started before the high LAP was corrected to overlap
with its cause, but the earliest beginning is undetermined because there
is another possible cause. This hypothesis is shown in figure 6.
