The end-diastolic pressure-volume relation (EDPVR) is an important descriptor of passive cardiac pump properties. However, clinical utility has been limited by the need for measurement of pressures and volumes over relatively large ranges. In this protocol, we describe an algorithm to estimate the entire EDPVR in humans from a single measured pressure-volume (P-V) point. This algorithm was developed from observations made from accurately measured EDPVRs of human hearts, which indicated that when normalized by appropriate left ventricular volume scaling (to arrive at volume-normalized EDPVRs, EDPVR(n)) EDPVR(n)s were nearly identical in all patients. In this protocol, we demonstrate how to use EDPVR(n)s to predict a second P-V point on the EDPVR, in which case the entire EDPVR can then be predicted. With recent advances for accurate noninvasive measurement of end-diastolic pressure and volumes, this protocol permits the assessment of passive properties in a broader range of research and clinical settings.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is on the rise, and over 50% of patients die from cardiac causes. Patients develop heart failure due to unelucidated reno-cardiac interactions, termed type 4 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS4). The aim of this study is to establish and characterize a reliable model of CRS4 in swine with marked cardiac diastolic dysfunction.

Objectives: In the dynamic perioperative setting, changing fluid states complicate determination of ventricular function. This study evaluated the feasibility of clinical ventricular pressure-volume loop (PVL) construction using routine monitoring (echocardiography and invasive pressure monitoring). An application was developed and tested with biventricular simulated data and right ventricular (RV) clinical data.

Aims: SPARCL1 was recently identified as a biomarker of right ventricular (RV) maladaptation in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic protein (NT-proBNP) is an established biomarker of RV failure in PH. The present study investigated whether NT-proBNP and SPARCL1 concentrations are associated with load-independent parameters of RV function and RV-to-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling as measured using invasive pressure-volume (PV) loops in the RV.
Methods: SPARCL1 and NT-proBNP were measured in the plasma of patients with idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension (IPAH, n = 73).

Right ventricular (RV) failure following surgical repair of congenital heart disease affects survival. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (hiPS-CM) sheet transplantation ameliorated left ventricular dysfunction in preclinical studies, indicating its efficacy in RV failure in congenital heart disease. This study aimed to evaluate whether hiPS-CMs could improve RV function in rats with pressure-overloaded RV failure.

Article Synopsis
- Right ventricular (RV) pressure-volume loops need calibration after acquisition using methods like cardiac MRI (CMR) or hypertonic saline (HS) to assess heart function accurately.
- A study involving 19 participants found that HS calibration consistently overestimated RV volumes at rest compared to CMR, leading to an underestimation of RV ejection fraction (RVEF) by approximately 8%.
- Despite discrepancies in RVEF, both calibration methods produced similar results for ventricular contractility (Ees), arterial afterload (Ea), and their relationship (Ees/Ea) during rest and exercise.
