Abstract
Recent investigations have yielded new insights into the interaction of the left ventricle with the arterial system. These studies have employed a variety of coupling frameworks to quantify this interaction, and each makes several simplifying assumptions. In this article, we review these frameworks, their major findings, assumptions, and clinical applications, and examine future directions for this research.
