Left Ventricular-Systemic Arterial Coupling in Humans and Strategies to Improve Coupling in Disease States

  • Chapter

Abstract

It is paradoxical that this book on ventricular/vascular coupling will occupy space in medical libraries alongside clinical texts on hypertension, cardiac failure, and ischemic heart disease. Paradoxical, because the approaches described here are rarely if ever addressed in these clinical texts, even though they are of paramount relevance and importance. Neglect of these approaches is all the more surprising when one considers that hypertension, cardiac failure, and ischemic heart disease are among the most common serious diseases handled regularly by practicing physicians.
