Ventricular pressure-volume (PV) loops offer unique insights into cardiovascular mechanics.
PV loops can be instrumental in improving our understanding of various congenital heart …

Background Heart failure phenotyping in single‐ventricle Fontan patients is challenging,
particularly in patients with normal ejection fraction (EF). The objective of this study was to …

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC)[VAC=
Ea/Ees; Ea: effective arterial elastance; Ees: left ventricle (LV) elastance] are both …

Definitive closure of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) causes significant changes in loading
conditions of the left ventricle (LV) which can lead to cardiorespiratory instability including …

Purpose Our understanding of hemodynamics in cirrhotic patients with sepsis remains
limited. Our study aims to investigate differences in hemodynamic profiles using …

Ventricular–arterial coupling is calculated as the arterial elastance to end systolic elastance
ratio (EA/Ees). Although the gold standard is invasive pressure volume loop analysis, Chen …

Background Pediatric heart transplant recipients are at risk for increased left ventricular (LV)
diastolic stiffness. However, the noninvasive evaluation of LV stiffness has remained elusive …

Background: Minors are considered the main consumer group of energy drinks (EDs). The
aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of ED consumption on left ventricular …

Background Despite a rigorous screening process, including cardiac catheterization, a
subset of patients with a single right ventricle (SRV) demonstrates suboptimal short‐term …

The noninvasive assessment of ventricular function is an ongoing challenge with new tools
and measurements always being considered and tested. The noninvasive assessment of …
