Cardiac stroke work

Left ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC), defined as the ratio of effective arterial elastance (Ea) to left ventricular end-systolic elastance (Ees), has been extensively described as a key determinant of cardiovascular work efficacy. Previous studies indicated that left ventricular-arterial uncoupling was associated with worse tissue perfusion and increased mortality in shock patients.

The third section deals with neuroprotection. As we have discussed above, this has become a kind of Holy Grail for stroke scientists. Contributors to this section reviewed the state of the art in this quest or reported their experience in exploring novel ways of neuroprotection. Their work will be a useful addition to the store of knowledge that the modern Parsifal will exploit to finally find his Grail. I am most grateful to the Authors of the various chapters, who have expertly written and patiently revised their very interesting work for this book.
