Quantifying passive myocardial stiffness and wall stress in heart failure patients using personalized ventricular mechanics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Heart failure (HF) patients present with a spectrum of phenotypes, including preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and reduced EF (HFrEF). The underlying mechanisms of HFpEF and HFrEF may be related to mechanical factors such as stiffness and stress. This study aimed to quantify passive mechanical properties in HFrEF and HFpEF patients using personalised left ventricular (LV) biomechanical analysis.

Normalized diastolic properties after left ventricular assist result from reverse remodeling of chamber geometry.
BACKGROUND Normalization of diastolic properties after left ventricular (LV) assist may result from a change in myocardial material properties, chamber size, or both. This study tested the hypothesis that reported normalization of LV diastolic properties is primarily due to remodeling of chamber geometry. METHODS AND RESULTS Hearts were obtained at transplantation from 8 patients with dilated...
متن کاملEffect of Laminar Orthotropic Myofiber Architecture on Regional Stress and Strain in the Canine Left Ventricle
Recent morphological studies have demonstrated a laminar (sheet) organization of ventricular myofibers. Multiaxial measurements of orthotropic myocardial constitutive properties have not been reported, but regional distributions of three-dimensional diastolic and systolic strains relative to fiber and sheet axes have recently been measured in the dog heart by Takayama et al. [30]. A three-dimen...
متن کاملContractility and ventricular systolic stiffening in hypertensive heart disease insights into the pathogenesis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
OBJECTIVES We sought to compare left ventricular (LV) systolic stiffness and contractility in normal subjects, hypertensive patients without heart failure, and patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and to determine whether LV systolic stiffness or myocardial contractility is associated with the rate of mortality in patients with HFpEF. BACKGROUND Arterial load is...
متن کاملMyocardial stiffness in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction: contributions of collagen and titin.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine whether patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have an increase in passive myocardial stiffness and the extent to which discovered changes depend on changes in extracellular matrix fibrillar collagen and cardiomyocyte titin. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting under...
متن کاملIncreased Regional Myocardial StiEfness of the Left Ventricle During Pacing-induced Angina in Man
The left ventricular diastolic pressure-volume.relationship shifts upward during angina, but why this happens is not known. To assess regional myocardial stiffness, we studied 12 patients who.had coronary artery disease using simultaneous left ventricular micromanometer pressure recording and Mmode echocardiography before and during angina induced. by pacing tachycardia. All patients had twoor ...
