Torsion dynamics in the evolution from acute to chronic mitral regurgitation.
J Heart Valve Dis. 2002; (1): 39-46; discussion 46
Left ventricular (LV) torsion reduces transmural fiber strain gradients during systole, and torsional recoil in early diastole is thought to assist LV filling. To test the hypothesis that deterioration of torsional dynamics accompanied LV dysfunction during the evolution of mitral regurgitation (MR), torsion was measured during the progression from acute to chronic MR in a canine model.
