Pressure-Volume Loop Basics: An Overview of What PV Loops Represent and How They Relate to Cardiac Cycles
Introduction The human heart is a marvel of biological engineering, tirelessly working to pump blood throughout the body. One of the most insightful ways to understand and evaluate cardiac function is through the use of Pressure-Volume (PV) loops. These loops offer a visual representation of the relationship between the pressure inside the heart’s chambers and … Read more
