Implication

May refine HF phenotyping by dual inotropic-lusitropic assessment; leaves open targeted therapies pending prospective validation.

Key Points

Clarify how distinct abnormalities in myocardial contraction (inotropic) and relaxation (lusitropic) contribute to the clinical syndrome of heart failure.
Reviewed the interdependent physiological systems governing cardiac chamber emptying and filling.
Evaluated the impact of advanced ventricular volume assessment tools and drug classes that selectively alter inotropic and lusitropic myocardial properties.
Heart failure signs and symptoms develop from isolated or combined failures of cardiac contraction (emptying) and relaxation (filling).
Technological advances in measuring ventricular volumes enable precise differentiation between systolic and diastolic mechanisms to guide targeted drug therapies.
