The Frank-Starling Law and Its Representation on PV Loops
The Frank-Starling principle, one of the cornerstone concepts in cardiovascular physiology, explains how changes in ventricular preload influence stroke volume. This physiological phenomenon is effectively illustrated through shifts in the pressure-volume (PV) loops and the Frank-Starling Curve, making these tools indispensable for understanding cardiac function. In this article, we’ll delve deep into the Frank-Starling Law, … Read more
