Diastolic ventricular interaction significantly impacts septal mechanics. This study developed a model showing how right ventricular (RV) loading causes septal inversion and shortening, validated by animal experiments.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Physiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Cardiac Mechanics

Background:

  • Diastolic ventricular interaction influences septal deformation.
  • The precise mechanisms and consequences of this interaction remain incompletely understood.
  • Understanding these dynamics is crucial for assessing cardiac function under varying physiological loads.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a computational model of diastolic ventricular interaction.
  • To elucidate the mechanisms driving septal shift and deformation under different loading conditions.
  • To compare model predictions with experimental data from animal studies.

Main Methods:

  • A computational model simulating cardiac geometry, including the left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV), and septum, surrounded by a pericardium.

  • Incorporation of force-balance equations at ventricular intersections and consideration of bending forces.
  • Validation using animal experiments involving aortic and pulmonary constriction, measuring pressures and septal segment length/curvature.

    • Main Results:

    • Model and experimental data confirm septal inversion during severe RV loading, occurring at a negative transseptal pressure gradient.
    • Septal segment length continues to shorten post-inversion during pulmonary constriction.
    • Model simulations indicate bending moments influence septal curvature and predict altered pressure-area relationships between ventricles.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed model accurately describes diastolic septal mechanics under acute differential ventricular loading.
    • Bending moments play a significant role in septal curvature, even at zero transseptal pressure.
    • Ventricular interdependence significantly modulates diastolic function, with potential for large transmural stress/strain gradients during septal inversion.
