Pressure-volume loop
Description
This figure depicts a Pressure-Volume Loop of the heart, a crucial representation in cardiovascular physiology. The graph showcases the dynamic relationship between the pressure within the heart chambers and the corresponding changes in volume throughout a complete cardiac cycle. As the heart contracts and relaxes, this loop visually captures the essential phases. Understanding this loop is fundamental for assessing cardiac function and diagnosing various cardiovascular conditions.
