Understanding the RV Pressure Volume Loop: Complete Guide for Clinicians and Engineers

by

Introduction to RV Pressure Volume Loops The RV pressure volume loop represents a crucial diagnostic and research tool in understanding right ventricular function, especially in patients with pulmonary or congenital heart diseases. Unlike the more commonly discussed left ventricular loop, the right ventricle poses unique anatomical and physiological complexities. Clinicians, biomedical engineers, and researchers rely … Read more

RV PV loop: Basic Principles and Definition

by

The RV PV loop is a powerful graphical representation that describes the pressure-volume relationship of the right ventricle. As a fundamental model, it plays a key role in understanding right ventricular mechanics. Unlike its left-sided counterpart, the right ventricle exhibits unique structural, functional, and hemodynamic features, making this loop crucial for both clinical assessment and … Read more

RV PV Loop and Pulmonary Valve: Acute Adaptations to Leakage

by

Introduction The RV PV Loop (Right Ventricular Pressure-Volume Loop) is a fundamental tool used to assess the dynamic function of the right ventricle (RV) under varying physiological and pathological conditions. One of the key disruptions in right ventricular function is pulmonary valve leakage, also known as pulmonary regurgitation. This condition results in the backward flow … Read more
