The heart and the arterial system are anatomically and functionally linked together. Noninvasive assessment of ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) can be done using different methods that are promising tools to assess individual hemodynamics and tailor treatment in patients with heart failure (HF). Moreover, different methods available can be appropriately used in different settings such as acute and chronic HF. VAC parameters also can add incremental value over the conventional risk factors in predicting cardiac outcome.
心脏和动脉系统在解剖学和功能上是相连的。可以使用不同的方法对心室-动脉偶联（VAC）进行无创评估，这些方法是评估心力衰竭（HF）患者个体血液动力学并进行个体化治疗的有前途的工具。此外，不同的方法可以在急性和慢性 HF 等不同情况下适当使用。VAC 参数在预测心脏结局方面比传统危险因素具有更大的附加价值。
