Minimal Cardiovascular System Model including a Physiological Description of Progressive Mitral Valve Orifice Dynamics for Studying Valve Dysfunction
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION The minimal cardiovascular system (CVS) model described in this study was first developed and optimized [1] to assist clinicians in diagnosing cardiovascular and circulatory dysfunction and (then) selecting reliable and appropriate therapeutic responses. This model is based on the “pressurevolume” (PV) lumped element approach. It divides the cardiovascular system in several chambers described by their own PV relationship [1,4]. This method requires a limited number of parameters, allowing for easy and rapid simulations and for patient specific identification of disease state [5,7]. In this research, this closed-loop CVS model is coupled with a model describing the progressive aperture dynamics of the mitral valve during the cardiac cycle. Thus, a model of the left atrium and its dynamics are also required for an accurate physiological context. The goal is to better take into account the valve dynamics during the entire cardiac cycle and their impact on circulatory dynamics. Clinically, understanding this impact and the ability to identify it would lead to new diagnostic capabilities for valvular dysfunction.

Mathematical multi-scale model of the cardiovascular system including mitral valve dynamics. Application to ischemic mitral insufficiency
BACKGROUND Valve dysfunction is a common cardiovascular pathology. Despite significant clinical research, there is little formal study of how valve dysfunction affects overall circulatory dynamics. Validated models would offer the ability to better understand these dynamics and thus optimize diagnosis, as well as surgical and other interventions. METHODS A cardiovascular and circulatory syste...

A minimal cardiovascular system (CVS) model including mitral valve dynamics has been previously validated in silico. It accounts for valve dynamics using a second order differential equation to simulate the physiological opening valve law. This second order equation is based on output heart signals and is really difficult to bind with anatomical or physiological parameters, making this model di...

Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...

Introduction: Prosthetic valve thrombosis is a rare and severe complication of valve replacement, most often encountered with a mechanical prosthesis. The significant morbidity and mortality associated with this condition warrant rapid diagnostic evaluation. Although surgery is the first-line therapy in symptomatic obstructive mechanical valve thrombosis, thrombolytic therapy has been used as a...
متن کاملPacman Heart as a Congenital Cardiac Defect Associated with Flail Mitral Valve and a Partial form of Shone\'s Complex; A Case Report
Partial muscular inter-ventricular septal defect (VSD) or Pacman heart is a rare congenital or occasionally acquired anomaly. Concurrent Pacman heart and Shone's complex are extremely rare and have never been reported until now. We described a 37-year-old male patient with congenital Pacman heart, flail mitral valve (FMV), and a history of multiple congenital anomalies, including subvalvular ao...
