Left ventricular torsion from helically oriented myofibers is a key parameter of cardiac performance. Physicians observing heart motion on echocardiograms, during cardiac catheterization, or in the operating room, are impressed by the twisting or rotary motion of the left ventricle during systole. Conceptually, the heart has been treated as a pressure chamber. The rotary or torsional deformation has been poorly understood by basic scientists and has lacked clinical relevance. The aim of this…

On the identification of multiple space dependent ionic parameters in cardiac electrophysiology modelling

In this paper, we consider the inverse problem of space dependent multiple ionic parameters identification in cardiac electrophysiology modelling from a set of observations. We use the monodomain…

Spatial orientation of the ventricular muscle band: physiologic contribution and surgical implications.

It is hypothesized that the ventricular myocardium, both right (RV) and left (LV), exists as a continuous muscle band and this unique anatomy and spatial configuration of the myocardial muscle determine the way theventricular ejection and filling take place.

Laminar fiber architecture and three-dimensional systolic mechanics in canine ventricular myocardium.

End-systolic finite strains relative to end diastole of transmural markers near the apex and base of the anesthetized open-chest canine anterior left ventricular free wall were referred to three-dimensional laminar microstructural axes reconstructed from histology.

The wall has a well-ordered distribution of fiber angles varying from about 60° (from the circumferential direction) at the inner surface to about –60° on the outer surface, and the greatest change in angle occurs at the two surfaces (endocardial and epicardial).

Relating myocardial laminar architecture to shear strain and muscle fiber orientation.

sheets coincide with planes of maximum systolic shear subject to the constraint that the muscle fiber axis is contained in this plane, suggesting that two populations of sheet orientation may exist.

Regional ventricular wall thickening reflects changes in cardiac fiber and sheet structure during contraction: quantification with diffusion tensor MRI.

It is shown for the first time that geometric changes in both sheet and fiber orientation provide a substantial mechanism for radial wall thickening independent of active components due to myofiber shortening.

Fiber architecture of the left ventricular wall: An asymptotic analysis

The goal of this paper is to derive the fiber architecture of the left ventricle from first principles. The principles used are (i) mechanical equilibrium, (ii) a stress tensor that is the sum of a…

Asymmetric redirection of flow through the heart

This work shows the asymmetric redirection of streaming blood in atrial and ventricular cavities of the adult human heart, with sinuous, chirally asymmetric paths of flow through the whole, and proposes that asymmetries and curvatures of the looped heart have potential fluidic and dynamic advantages.
