Baseline PV Loop Analysis and RV-PA Coupling in Healthy vs. Diseased States
Introduction Cardiovascular function is a complex interplay between the heart and vasculature, particularly between the right ventricle (RV) and pulmonary artery (PA). The efficiency of this relationship, termed RV-PA coupling, is a crucial determinant of right heart function. A key tool in evaluating RV-PA coupling is the pressure-volume (PV) loop analysis, which provides insights into … Read more
