Accurate LV pressure-volume measurements enable phase-specific function assessment; leaves open standardization for routine clinical workflows.
A thorough assessment of global left-ventricular function requires understanding the indices of contraction, active relaxation, and passive relaxation.
Eric R. Schertel (1998) conducted a review in Left-ventricular function. Accurate measurements of left-ventricular pressure and volume are necessary to assess the three distinct phases of the cardiac cycle for a thorough evaluation of global left-ventricular function.
