Assessment of left ventricular systolic and diastolic pump properties is fundamental to
advancing the understanding of cardiovascular pathophysiology and therapeutics …

In the late 19th century, Otto Frank published the first description of a ventricular pressure-
volume diagram, thus laid the foundation for modern cardiovascular physiology. Since then …

Background—Increases in vascular (Ea), ventricular systolic (Ees), and ventricular diastolic
(Ed) elastance (stiffness) may contribute to the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF) with …

Assessement of right ventricular (RV) contractility from end-systolic pressure-volume
relationships (ESPVR) is difficult due to problems in measuring RV instantaneous volume …

We investigated how parameters describing the heart and the arterial system contribute to
the systolic and diastolic pressures (Ps and Pd, respectively) and stroke volume (SV). We …

Objectives. This study examined the of metoprolol on left ventricular performance, efficiency,
neurohormonal activation and myocardial respiratory quotient in patients with dilated …

We characterized hemodynamics and systolic and diastolic right ventricular (RV) function in
relation to structural changes in the rat model of monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary …

Interactions between the left ventricle (LV) and the arterial system,(ventricular–arterial
coupling) are key determinants of cardiovascular function. Ventricular–arterial coupling is …

BACKGROUND Although changes in contractility are often accompanied by changes in
relaxation, a mathematical model of ventricular coupling has not been described. A model …
