Abstract
In this work, we use a Finite Element model of the left ventricular (LV) mechanics to assess the sensitivity of strains to fiber orientation, modeled using both helix and transverse angles using a 5-parameter rule-based model. The ranges for the five parameters represent the variability within the human population, as inferred from DTI measurements found in literature. End-systolic Green-Lagrange strains with respect of the end-diastolic state were expressed according to the local circumferential (c), longitudinal (l) and transmural (t) direction. The results show that the transverse angle is more influential than the helix angle and that the strain components most affected by fiber orientation are Ect (38 ± 18 % ), and Ecl (25 ± 8 % ). The most influential parameters are found to be tu0, describing the longitudinal offset of the transverse angle, and hv0, describing the transmural offset of the helix angle. Instead, hv1, describing the transmural slope of the helix angle, resulted to be the least influential parameter.
