Key result
A 2D finite element model demonstrated that under abnormal loading, the interventricular septum behaves in an arch-like fashion with high compressive stresses, unlike its behavior under normal loading.

Suggests arch-like septal deformation may drive pathology in RV overload; leaves open in vivo validation and clinical translation.
A 2D finite element model reveals that abnormal right ventricular loading induces high compressive stresses and arch-like bending in the interventricular septum, providing biomechanical insights into septal pathology.
Nelson et al. (2001) studied Interventricular septum loading. 2-D plane stress FE model vs. Normal vs abnormal loading was evaluated on Structural behaviour of the septum during diastole. A 2D finite element model demonstrated that under abnormal loading, the interventricular septum behaves in an arch-like fashion with high compressive stresses, unlike its behavior under normal loading.
