Impaired Myofilament Contraction Drives Right Ventricular Failure Secondary to Pressure Overload: Model Simulations, Experimental Validation, and Treatment Predictions

Introduction: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) causes pressure overload leading to right ventricular failure (RVF). Myocardial structure and myocyte mechanics are altered in RVF but the direct impact of these cellular level factors on organ level function remain unclear. A computational model of the card...
