Cardiac cycle & imaging
Linked cardiac-cycle timing, Wiggers, pressure–volume loops, echo and lungs.
How do I compare normal, disease and intervention PV loops?
The LV/RV pressure–volume display retains reference loops for comparison.
How do I compare S1 and S2 splitting?
Pause Wiggers and switch the respiratory view.
How do I explore the synchronized ECG, Wiggers and PV loop?
Pause, then hover over the ECG, Wiggers diagram or active PV loop; touch and drag on mobile.
How does the chest X-ray respond to the model?
Congestion, breathing and selected devices change the lung schematic.
How does the heart schematic reflect rhythm and stroke volume?
Its motion follows the current model, with forward stroke volume shown in the schematic.
What do the IVC image and JVP bar show?
A compact venous-congestion illustration beneath the CXR.
What do the seven cardiac-cycle stages mean in this view?
The phase legend follows the selected beat and the shared time marker.
What does the Wiggers diagram show?
Pressure, volume and electrical timing aligned within a modeled cardiac cycle.
Where are S3, S4, opening snap and systolic click shown?
Relevant heart-sound markers appear on the paused cycle/Wiggers study.
Where are the Gorlin and Hakki calculations?
Open Gorlin / Hakki beside the Wiggers controls when AS or MS is selected.
Where can I see prosthetic valves and Impella?
The heart view displays devices from the active modeled treatment.
