Systolic Indices of Cardiac Contractility: Modeling and Analysis using Pressure-Volume Loop

Modeling cardiac contractility in pre-clinical catheterization laboratory settings remains an important task to collect results under controlled hemodynamic conditions, while providing an assessment of systolic and diastolic indices. Diligent hemodynamic monitoring with acute-based pressure-volume modeling uncovers early indicators of heart failure (HF). In this article, basic procedural assessments are outlined, while deeper dive into systolic …
