In this 2-part webinar, Dr. Dan Burkhoff provides an overview of the fundamental principles of preload, afterload, contractility and lusitropy (diastolic properties), how these are quantified on the pressure-volume diagram, and how they are affected in heart failure.

Part 1: Fundamentals

After reviewing measurement techniques and underlying properties of cardiac muscle and ventricular structure, Dr. Burkhoff demonstrates how pressure-volume analysis can lead to a quantitative understanding of how the heart and vasculature interact to determine stroke volume, cardiac output and blood pressure. The implications for understanding therapeutic effects are also discussed.
