ABSTRACT
Background:
A systematic and quantitative comparative analysis for this subject has not been done so far. Thus defined, the coefficient of elasticity is a whole new dimension.
Objective:
This study proposes a new mathematical myocardium elasticity property modeling in characterizing of the ventricular diastole and systole.
Methods:
The study group consisted of 2283 consecutive patients evaluated by echocardiography.
The mathematical approach is made starting from energetic consideration, by applying the energy conservation low for the blood entering from left atrium into left ventricle during diastole period.
Results:
Analyzing all the data obtained we developed two brand new coefficients to describe the cardiac cycle and we had verified if the coefficients are correlated with classically used parameters. We consider that the energetic approach take into consideration the whole mechanical movement that is happening inside the heart and can offer a very synthetic and scientific solid view about the cardiac cycle.
Conclusions:
The new coefficients are simply to be calculated and as you will see from our research the correlation with other classically used parameters is obvious. The direct physical approach of blood flow within the heart can generate new, beneficial perspectives in diagnosing various heart conditions, or even in understanding how works the filling of the ventricles and atria during a heartbeat.
