Understanding the End-diastolic Pressure-Volume Relationship (EDPVR): A Complete Guide
Introduction to Cardiac Pressure-Volume Relationships The heart is often described as a pump, but this description doesn’t fully capture its complexity. To truly understand how the ventricles work, cardiologists rely on pressure-volume (PV) relationships. These curves provide a window into the interplay between pressure and volume during the cardiac cycle, revealing both systolic and diastolic … Read more
