Abstract

Biomechanical data and related constitutive modelling of the mitral apparatus served as a basis for finite element analyses to better understand the physiology of mitral valves in health and disease. Human anterior and posterior leaflets and chordae tendinae from an elderly heart showing no disease and a hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathic heart (HOCM) were mechanically tested by means of uniaxial cyclic extension tests under quasi-static conditions. Experimental data for the leaflets and the chordae tendinae showed highly nonlinear mechanical behaviours and the leaflets were anisotropic. The mitral valve from the HOCM heart exhibited a significantly softer behaviour than the valve from the healthy one. A comparison with porcine data was included because many previous mitral modelling studies have been based on porcine data. Some differences in mechanical response were observed. Material parameters for hyperelastic, transversely isotropic constitutive laws were determined. The experimental data and the related model parameters were used in two finite element studies to investigate the effects of the material properties on the mitral valve response during systole. The analyses showed that during systole the mitral valve fro...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
