Understanding Lusitropy PV Loop: Complete Guide to Cardiac Relaxation Dynamics
Introduction to Lusitropy and the PV Loop Relationship The Lusitropy PV Loop represents a fundamental connection between myocardial relaxation and the mechanical performance of the heart. While inotropy describes the strength of cardiac contraction, lusitropy defines the rate and efficiency of cardiac relaxation during diastole. Understanding this relationship is vital for evaluating heart function, especially … Read more
