Comparative Morphology of PV Loops in HFpEF and HFrEF

Introduction Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by the heart’s inability to pump blood efficiently. It is broadly classified into two types: heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). A valuable diagnostic tool for differentiating these conditions is pressure-volume (PV) loop analysis, which provides insight … Read more

Diagnostic Utility of Pressure-Volume Loops in Diastolic Heart Failure

Analyzing heart function is a complex but crucial task for cardiologists, particularly when distinguishing between various forms of heart failure. One of the most advanced techniques used for this purpose is the pressure-volume (PV) loop analysis. This diagnostic tool is especially valuable in the assessment of diastolic heart failure, a condition also referred to as … Read more

Understanding the Role of Pressure-Volume Loops in Diagnosing Heart Failure

Heart failure is a complex clinical condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Accurate diagnosis and management of heart failure are critical for improving patient outcomes, and one of the most sophisticated tools used in this process is the Pressure-Volume (PV) loop. In clinical cardiology, PV loops provide valuable insights into the mechanical function of … Read more
