Ventricular Pressure Volume + PV Loops

Changes in ventricular function for both normal and diseased conditions can be studied through analysis of ventricular pressure volume loops. The gold standard method for measuring direct, real-time complete cardiac function, particularly myocardial contractility measurements, PV loops can be generated by plotting real-time left or right ventricular pressure against ventricular volume during a complete cardiac cycle.

Providing instant cardiovascular function feedback based on morphology, position and timing of the loop, ventricular pressure volume is the only research technique that provides you full diastolic analysis and allows you to vary the load and measure beat-to-beat response of that changing load in cardiac performance.

In conjunction with our solutions shown below, any device with an analog output (+/- 10V) can be connected to a PowerLab data acquisition system for synchronization of events in LabChart. So you have even more flexibility and can integrate all your data streams in one place.

All of our hardware recommended for human use is backed by the appropriate safety certification standards. More information on safety standards.



Surgical Instruction Video Series

ADInstruments has been working alongside surgical expert Prof. René Remie, to produce a series of step-by-step instructional videos that demonstrate common Pressure-Volume and Invasive Pressure catheterization procedures.

Each of the 5 videos in the series follows a surgical catheterization procedure from start to finish, and include helpful techniques and tips throughout.

These videos are a unique and valuable resource for researchers performing cardiovascular research in animal models.
