Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a new method to estimate the reginal ventricular viscosity using the minute vibration technique. We applied the small vibration to the ventricular surface and solved the equation of motion in the region to evaluate the viscosity. We found that the regional viscosity was time-varying within a cardiac cycle as well as the regional elastance. The regional viscosity was more sensitive to ischemia than the regional elastance. Because, the regional viscosity was increasing immediately following the induced ischemia when the regional elastance did not change. We also investigated how the viscosity affected the hemodynamics using the computer simulation which was modeled by these results. It turned out that the viscosity results in an increase in the effective stressed blood volume. It was suggested that the viscosity could not be ignore in the right ventricle (RV) even in the healthy state as the maximum elastance in the RV is relatively smaller than that in the left ventricle.
