A modified Holzapfel-Ogden law for a residually stressed finite strain model of the human left ventricle in diastole [PDF]

open access: hybrid, 2013
In this work, we introduce a modified Holzapfel-Ogden hyperelastic constitutive model for ventricular myocardium that accounts for residual stresses, and we investigate the effects of residual stresses in diastole using a magnetic resonance imaging ...

Mean and Variability of Lipid Measurements and Risk for Development of Subclinical Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction [PDF]

open access: yesDiabetes & Metabolism Journal, 2022
Background Subclinical left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is an emerging consequence of increased insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia is one of the few correctable risk factors of LVDD. This study evaluated the role of mean and visit-to-visit

Need for Speed: The Importance of Physiological Strain Rates in Determining Myocardial Stiffness

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
The heart is viscoelastic, meaning its compliance is inversely proportional to the speed at which it stretches. During diastolic filling, the left ventricle rapidly expands at rates where viscoelastic forces impact ventricular compliance.

Inorganic phosphate accelerates cardiac myofilament relaxation in response to lengthening

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Myocardial relaxation in late systole is enhanced by increasing velocities of lengthening. Given that inorganic phosphate (Pi) can rebind to the force-producing myosin enzyme prior to MgADP release and hasten crossbridge detachment, we hypothesized that ...

The significant coronary tortuosity and atherosclerotic coronary artery disease; What is the relation? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2018
Introduction: Although coronary tortuosity is relatively common in coronary angiograms, there is much debate over the significance of this anatomical variation.

Numerical study of hemodynamics after stent implantation during the cardiac cycle

open access: yesJournal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2021
The descending aortic aneurysm is one of the most catastrophic cardiovascular emergencies resulting in high mortality worldwide. Clinical observations have pointed out that stent implantation in the sick aorta should probably allow stabilization of the ...
