An exploratory assessment of stretch-induced transmural myocardial fiber kinematics in right ventricular pressure overload

Abstract Right ventricular (RV) remodeling and longitudinal fiber reorientation in the setting of pulmonary hypertension (PH) affects ventricular structure and function, eventually leading to RV failure. Characterizing the kinematics of myocardial fibers helps better understanding the underlying mec...
