The left ventricular stroke work is a measure of the work done by the left ventricle during the ejection of blood throughout per cardiac cycle. The aim of this investigation was to propose a model to numerically evaluate the stroke work for a healthy subject by using a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation during exercise protocol. Aortic valve dimensions were calculated using an imaging technique of echocardiography. An FSI simulation was performed using an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) mesh. Boundary conditions were defined by pressure loads on ventricular and aortic sides. Stroke work was predicted to increase to 121% from 60 bpm to 125 bpm, and it did not increase much above 125 bpm. Based on derived regression equations of our FSI results for stroke work and comparing of them with clinical ones, numerically-predicted stroke work values are in good agreements with published clinical data. The slope of stroke work changes to mean arterial pressure, while exercise protocol, is 168.08 ml which is 12.2% less than the average slope of clinical data. The y-axis intercept of stroke work changes to mean arterial pressure, while exercise protocol, is -11186 mmHg.ml which is 15% less than the average y-axis intercept of clinical data. Our results for the specific patient show that numerical methods can be proposed to predict good estimates of patient specific stroke work at different heart rates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
