Transverse isotropic modelling of left-ventricle passive filling: mechanical characterization for epicardial biomaterial manufacturing
Résumé
Biomaterials applied to the epicardium have been studied intensively in recent years for different therapeutic purposes. Their mechanical influence on the heart, however, has not been clearly identified. Most biomaterials for epicardial applications are manufactured as membranes or cardiac patches that have isotropic geometry, which is not well suited to myocardial wall motion. Myocardial wall motion during systole and mechanical properties of the LV wall and can serve as a guide for designing and manufacturing biomedical material better adapted to the local epicardial tissue.
