Abstract
Accurate and comprehensive evaluation of right ventricular (RV)-pulmonary vascular (PV) interactions is critical to the assessment of cardiopulmonary function, dysfunction, and failure. Here, we review methods of quantifying RV-PV interactions and experimental results from clinical trials as well as large- and small-animal models based on pressure-volume analysis. We conclude by outlining critical gaps in knowledge that should drive future studies.Mesh:
