Understanding cardiac biomechanics and fluid dynamics provides valuable insights into heart function and pathology.
This review highlights the fundamental physical and biomechanical principles underlying cardiac function and their role in systemic circulation and pathological conditions.
Provides foundational biomechanical context for hemodynamic management; leaves open how these physical principles translate.
The human heart functions as a highly efficient biomechanical pump, governed by fundamental physical principles such as pressure gradients, fluid dynamics, and mechanical force generation. This article explores the biomechanical and physical properties underlying cardiac activity, focusing on the interaction between myocardial contraction, blood flow, and vascular resistance. Special attention is given to the role of hemodynamic parameters, including cardiac output, stroke volume, and arterial pressure, in maintaining systemic circulation. The study also highlights how alterations in these physical mechanisms can contribute to pathological conditions. Understanding the physical basis of cardiac function provides valuable insights for both clinical practice and biomedical research.
