This book addresses the meaning of the systolic function and diastolic function, how these can best be measured and interpreted, both now and in the future. This volume also covers topics like cardiac mechanics, flow dynamics, vascular properties, neural control of cardiovascular systems and pharmacological interventions. The book is of particular interest to biophysicists, bioengineers, cardiovascular physiologists, and clinicians.
