Heart failure is a complex medical syndrome that is attributed to a number of risk factors;
nevertheless, its clinical presentation is quite similar among the different etiologies. Heart …

As an extension of the traditional heart-centred pressure-flow model, the ventriculo-arterial
coupling concept is based on the pressure–volume relationship of the left ventricle and the …

Study objective To evaluate the impact of a dynamic arterial elastance guided
norepinephrine weaning strategy on the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients …

Aims Increased blood flow eccentricity in the aorta has been associated with aortic (AO)
pathology, however, its association with exercise capacity has not been investigated. This …

Background Norepinephrine is a commonly used drug for treating vasoplegic acute
circulatory failure in ICU. The prediction of norepinephrine macro-and micro-circulatory …

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) has become a standard of
care for severe cardiogenic shock, refractory cardiac arrest and related impending …

Introduction Two parallel paradigms of cardiovascular efficiency and haemodynamic
optimisation coexist in haemodynamic research. Targeting ventriculo-arterial (VA) coupling …

Shock is a life-threatening condition that requires prompt recognition and treatment to
prevent organ failure. In the intensive care unit, shock is a common presentation, and its …

Background Ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) has garnered increasing interest in critical
care. The prognostic significance of left ventricular-arterial coupling (LVAC) in this context …

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to test the ability of ventriculo-arterial coupling (VAC)
to predict cardiac index (CI) response after milrinone infusion. METHODS This was a …
