Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss two approaches to quantitatively assess ventricular-arterial interaction: (i) the classic approach based on matching of ventricular and arterial elastance (analysis in pressure-volume plane) and (ii) a novel approach based on assessment of time-varying myocardial stress. The latter analysis, in the time domain, allows to directly link left ventricular myocardial stress with systemic arterial properties and with the magnitude and timing of arterial wave reflections.
