Alternative Approaches to the Assessment of the Systemic Circulation and Left Ventricular Performance: A Proof-of-Concept Study

Background: The purpose of this article is to examine the systemic circulation and left ventricular (LV) performance by alternative, nonconventional approaches: systemic vascular conductance (GSV) and the head-capacity relation (ie, the relation between LV pressure and cardiac output), respectively;...
