RIVEROS PEREZ, Efraín. Análisis matemático de la curva presión-volumen del ventrículo izquierdo. []. , 36, 4, pp.265-268. ISSN 0120-3347.

Objective: To present a practical approach to cardiac performance factors based upon physical and mathematical foundations that lie under the left ventricular pressure volume loop. methods: Theoretical analysis of the left ventricular pressure volume loop. Conclusions: The process of reanimation in the critically-ill population depends on indirect measurements of left ventricular performance factors, often derived from invasive maneuvers. Theoretical limitations from pulmonary artery catheter-derived calculations become obvious, and warrant the development of new methods that allow displaying left ventricular pressure-volume loop at the bedside.
