Left ventricular stiffness and contractility, characterized by the end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship (EDPVR) and the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship (ESPVR), are two important indicators of the performance of the human heart. Although much research has been conducted on EDPVR and ESPVR, no model with physically interpretable parameters combining both relationships has been presented, thereby impairing the understanding of cardiac physiology and pathology. Here, we present a model that evaluates both EDPVR and ESPVR with physical interpretations of the parameters in a unified framework. Our physics-based model fits the available experimental data and results very well and outperforms existing models. With prescribed parameters, the new model is used to predict the pressure-volume relationships of the left ventricle. Our model provides a deeper understanding of cardiac mechanics and thus will have applications in cardiac research and clinical medicine.

Background: Perioperative right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery patients. This study aimed to demonstrate proof of concept in generating intraoperative RV pressure-volume (PV) loops and conducting an end-systolic PV relationship (ESPVR) analysis using data obtained from routinely used intraoperative monitors.
Methods: Adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with the placement of a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) between May 2023 and March 2024 were included prospectively.

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).

Background And Objective: Right ventricular failure increases short-term mortality in the setting of acute myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, advanced left-sided heart failure and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Percutaneous and surgically implanted right ventricular assist devices (RVAD) have been investigated in different clinical settings. The use of the ProtekDuo™ is currently a promising approach due to its features such as groin-free approach leading to early mobilisation, easy percutaneous deployment, compatibility with different pumps and oxygenators, and adaptability to different configurations.

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.
