Abstract

AbstractHeart failure remains one of the leading causes of death especially among people over the age of 60 years worldwide. To develop effective therapy and suitable replacement materials for the heart muscle it is necessary to understand its biomechanical behaviour under load. This paper investigates the passive mechanical response of the sheep myocardia excised from three different regions of the heart. Due to the relatively higher cost and huge ethical demands in acquisition and testing of real animal heart models, this paper evaluates the fitting performances of five different constitutive models on the myocardial tissue responses. Ten sheep were sacrificed, and their hearts excised and transported within 3h to the testing biomechanical laboratory. The upper sections of the hearts above the short axes were carefully dissected out. Tissues were dissected from the mid-sections of the left ventricle, mid-wall and right ventricle for each heart. The epicardia and endocardia were then carefully sliced off each tissue to leave the myocardia. Stress-strain curves were calculated, filtered and resampled. The results show that Choi-Vito model was found to provide the best fit to the LV, the polynomial (Anisotropic) model to RV, the Four-Fiber Family model to RV, Holzapfel (2000) to RV, Holzapfel (2005) to RV and the Fung model to LV.
