This pressure–volume curve, which describes left ventricular compliance, is normally curvilinear. Furthermore, alterations in left ventricular compliance shift the pressure–volume curve.

Figure 1 shows a simultaneous recording of pulmonary-artery wedge (pulmonary-capillary) and left-ventricle pressure pulses. The area between the two curves in diastole is the mitral-valve gradient.

In order to explore the relations between left ventricular mass (LVM) and the pulsatile (pulse pressure) and steady (mean pressure) components of the blood pressure (BP) curve, 304 young and ...
