Key result
Biaxial and uniaxial mechanical testing characterizes time-dependent loading properties of human atrial appendages.
Why the study?
The study aimed to extend mechanical characterization results toward human atrial appendage tissues and time-dependent loading.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Preliminary human atrial data warrant clinical caution; leaves open time-dependent mechanics characterization in larger cohorts.
Preliminary biaxial tests on human samplesTo extend these results toward human tissues and time-dependent loading, small rectangular regions of interest (7 × 7 mm²) were excised from fresh human atrial appendages (preliminary, n = 4).After a 0.03 N

Reibel et al. (2026) studied this question. Uniaxial and biaxial testing were used to mechanically characterize 7 × 7 mm² samples from fresh human atrial appendages (n = 4) under time-dependent loading.
