Computational modeling of volumetric soft tissue growth: application to the cardiac left ventricle.
As an initial step to investigate stimulus-response relations in growth and remodeling (G&R) of cardiac tissue, this study aims to develop a method to simulate 3D-inhomogeneous volumetric growth. Growth is regarded as a deformation that is decomposed into a plastic component which describes unconstrained growth and an elastic component to satisfy continuity of the tissue after growth. In curren...
متن کاملConstitutive Modeling of Cardiac Tissue Growth
Long term responses of the heart to e.g. infarction or surgical intervention are related to response of the tissue to changes in the mechanical environment. The tissue response is likely to involve (local) change of mass. Implementation of the associated inhomogeneous change in volume for a complex geometry is cumbersome. In the present study, we propose a computational framework for finite vol...
متن کاملMathematical modeling applied to the left ventricle of heart
Background: How can mathematics help us to understand the mechanism of the cardiac motion? The best known approach is to take a mathematical model of the fibered structure, insert it into a more-or-less complex model of cardiac architecture, and then study the resulting fibers of activation that propagate through the myocardium. In our paper, we have attempted to create a novel software capable...
متن کاملThe Rabbit Left Ventricle Modeling at the Cellular Scale: Application to Flow-clamp Experiments
Modeling the cardiac function is often considered using a phenomenological approach, where the cardiac contraction is described macroscopically (at the organ level). However, in this study we use a microscopic approach and describe the rabbit ventricular contraction at the cellular and subcellular levels. This leads to a better description of the ventricle contraction during flow-clamp protocol...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Assessment of Left Ventricle Torsion by Tissue Doppler and Velocity Vector Imaging
Introduction Left ventricular (LV) twist is believed to store potential energy and plays an important role in generating diastolic suction. Recent advances in echocardiography techniques have allowed quantification of LV twist. The aim of the present study was to compare LV twist and torsion in healthy human subjects determined by velocity vector imaging (VVI) and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) a...
