Figure 1From: Ventriculo-arterial decoupling in acutely altered hemodynamic statesThe left ventricular (LV) P-V loop. The P-V loop area is highlighted in blue. The slopes of LV elastance (Ees) and arterial elastance (Ea) are shown. ESV: end-systolic volume; ESP: end-systolic pressure; EDV: end-diastolic volume; EDP: end-systolic pressure.Back to article page
