🚨 Paper alert – in collaboration with LJMU School of Sport and Exercise Sciences   Like any pump, cardiac ❤️ performance depends on both #myocardial function and loading conditions. We evaluated the reliability of a novel #echocardiographic technique capturing this interaction (strain–volume/area loops) 🔁✨   🔹 Most reliable: the relation between systolic deformation and chamber size 📈 🔹 ⬅️ > ➡️: Left ventricular measures are more reliable than right ventricular measures    💡 These findings help distinguish true #pathophysiology from measurement variability, and offer direction for future application of strain–volume/area loops   Link: https://lnkd.in/esAkeqtC Stijn Donker, Joe Maxwell, Hikmat Haibe, Elke Verhoeven, Thijs Kerstens, Ben Buckley, Dick Thijssen, David Oxborough
