Cardiac researchers and clinical cardiologists need to know key concepts and terms for measuring and describing the function of the heart. This three-day course in Oslo in April provided a comprehensive review of:
- Myocardial deformation
- Tau – the time constant of exponential pressure decay
- End diastolic pressure volume relation
- Contractility & end systolic pressure volume relation
- Preload
- Afterload
- Suction and restoring forces
- Frank-Starling effect
- Myocardial and ventricular efficiency
The course received great feedback from the attendees. Below are a few pictures from the event.
