Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) occurs from incomplete coaptation of the mitral valve (MV) after myocardial infarction (MI), typically worsened by continued remodeling of the left ventricular (LV). The importance of LV remodeling is clear as IMR is induced by the post-MI dual mechanisms of mitral annular dilation and leaflet tethering from papillary muscle (PM) distension via the MV chordae tendineae (MVCT). However, the detailed etiology of IMR remains poorly understood, in large part due to the complex interactions of the MV and the post-MI LV remodeling processes. Given the patient-specific anatomical complexities of the IMR disease processes, simulation-based approaches represent an ideal approach to improve our understanding of this deadly disease. However, development of patient-specific models of left ventricle-mitral valve (LV-MV) interactions in IMR are complicated by the substantial variability and complexity of the MR etiology itself, making it difficult to extract underlying mechanisms from clinical data alone. To address these shortcomings, we developed a detailed ovine LV-MV finite element (FE) model based on extant comprehensive ovine experimental data. First, an extant ovine LV FE model (Sci. Rep. 2021 Jun 29;11(1):13466) was extended to incorporate the MV using a high fidelity ovine in vivo derived MV leaflet geometry. As it is not currently possible to image the MVCT in vivo, a functionally equivalent MVCT network was developed to create the final LV-MV model. Interestingly, in pilot studies, the MV leaflet strains did not agree well with known in vivo MV leaflet strain fields. We then incorporated previously reported MV leaflet prestrains (J. Biomech. Eng. 2023 Nov 1;145(11):111002) in the simulations. The resulting LV-MV model produced excellent agreement with the known in vivo ovine MV leaflet strains and deformed shapes in the normal state. We then simulated the effects of regional acute infarctions of varying sizes and anatomical locations by shutting down the local myocardial contractility. The remaining healthy (noninfarcted) myocardium mechanical behaviors were maintained, but allowed to adjust their active contractile patterns to maintain the prescribed pressure-volume loop behaviors in the acute post-MI state. For all cases studied, the LV-MV simulation demonstrated excellent agreement with known LV and MV in vivo strains and MV regurgitation orifice areas. Infarct location was shown to play a critical role in resultant MV leaflet strain fields. Specifically, extensional deformations of the posterior leaflets occurred in the posterobasal and laterobasal infarcts, while compressive deformations of the anterior leaflet were observed in the anterobasal infarct. Moreover, the simulated posterobasal infarct induced the largest MV regurgitation orifice area, consistent with experimental observations. The present study is the first detailed LV-MV simulation that reveals the important role of MV leaflet prestrain and functionally equivalent MVCT for accurate predictions of LV-MV interactions. Importantly, the current study further underscored simulation-based methods in understanding MV function as an integral part of the LV.
