Abstract:Objectives:
To use the ventricular pressure–volume relationship and time-varying elastance model to provide a foundation for understanding cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology, interpreting advanced hemodynamic monitoring, and for illustrating the physiologic basis and hemodynamic effects of therapeutic interventions. We will build on this foundation by using a cardiovascular simulator to illustrate the application of these principles in the care of patients with severe sepsis, cardiogenic… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
