摘要
A mathematical analysis which relates the dynamic twisting motion of the heart around its longitudinal axis to the mechanical function of the left ventricle (LV) is presented. The analysis demonstrates that although the angular twisting motion of the heart moderates the sarcomere length (SL) and the strain rate distributions throughout the myocardium, the global characteristics of the LV function are almost independent of the twisting phenomenon.
