How to measure ventricular–arterial coupling (VAC) in routine practice. DBP, diastolic blood pressure; Ea, arterial elastance; Ees, ventricular elastance; EF, ejection fraction; HFpEF, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; HFrEF, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SV, stroke volume from four cavities pulsed Doppler; tNd, ratio of the pre‐ejection period to the total systolic period measured on the aortic pulse Doppler.
