End-Systolic Pressure-Volume Relationship (ESPVR): The Ultimate Guide to Cardiac Function

by

Introduction to ESPVR The end-systolic pressure-volume relationship (ESPVR) is one of the most important concepts in cardiovascular physiology. It provides a load-independent measure of cardiac contractility, making it an invaluable tool in both research and clinical practice. By analyzing the slope of the ESPVR line on a pressure-volume (PV) loop, clinicians and researchers can gain … Read more
