Interdependence of Right and Left Ventricular PV Loops in Tricuspid Regurgitation

by

Introduction Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a condition where the tricuspid valve fails to close properly, allowing blood to flow backward into the right atrium during systole. This condition primarily affects the right side of the heart, but due to the concept of ventricular interdependence, it also significantly influences left ventricular (LV) performance. In particular, changes … Read more

Systolic-Diastolic Coupling in Ventricular Interdependence: A Deep Dive into Cardiac Mechanics

by

The human heart operates with an extraordinary level of precision and coordination. One of the key phenomena that underline this synchronization is ventricular interdependence with the cardiac cycle. It refers to how the function of one ventricle (either left or right) influences the performance of the opposite ventricle. This interplay becomes particularly evident during the … Read more
