Video Summary

Pressure-volume loops are graphs showing the changing relationship between left ventricular pressure and volume during a cardiac cycle. They provide useful information such as stroke volume or end-diastolic volume, as well as systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressure. Pressure-volume loops are used in research and preclinical testing to understand the heart's performance under various situations.
