    This study examined right ventricular (RV) motion in dogs, revealing sequential contraction from apex to conus during systole. This research provides insights into RV free wall dynamics and ventricular performance analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Biomechanical Engineering
    • Animal Models in Research

    Background:

    • Understanding regional right ventricular (RV) motion is crucial for assessing cardiac function.
    • Previous studies have lacked detailed analysis of RV free wall deformation during the cardiac cycle.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate regional RV free wall motion and deformation in dogs.
    • To develop and validate an experimental technique for analyzing intact ventricular performance.

    Main Methods:

    • Implantation of radiopaque markers in three RV free wall regions (apex, midventricle, outflow tract) in six dogs.
    • High-speed biplane X-ray imaging at a paced heart rate of 180 beats/min.
    • Digital computer analysis of marker motion to quantify local deformation and calculate RV free wall thickening.

    Main Results:

    • The major component of local deformation showed shortening from apex to conus (apex -13.6%, midventricle -13.1%, conus -8.7%).
    • The minor component exhibited minor lengthening or shortening (apex +4.7%, midventricle +1.8%, conus -0.5%).
    • Peak RV free wall thickening was calculated for each region (apex 13.6%, midventricle 14.1%, conus 10.9%).

    Conclusions:

    • The RV free wall undergoes sequential contraction during systole, initiating at the apex and progressing to the conus.
    • The developed experimental technique is suitable for repeated analysis of ventricular performance in chronic animal studies.
    • Findings enhance understanding of RV mechanics and provide a basis for further cardiovascular research.
