Ventricular pressure-volume (PV) loops offer unique insights into cardiovascular mechanics. PV loops can be instrumental in improving our understanding of various congenital heart diseases, including single ventricular physiology, heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension, as well as guiding therapeutic interventions. This review focuses on the theoretical and practical foundations for the acquisition and interpretation of PV loops in congenital heart disease and discusses their clinical applications.
