Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of biomedical engineering and computational fluid dynamics, specifically relating to a blood pressure calculation method and device based on cross-scale fluid-structure interaction and considering the nonlinear biomechanical characteristics of the aorta. Background Technology
[0002] Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) and artificial vascular graft replacement are first-line treatments for aortic diseases. However, due to the mismatch between the vascular implant and the biomechanical properties of the aorta, postoperative complications such as increased cardiac afterload, ascending aortic dilation, and myocardial thickening often occur. Therefore, achieving quantitative prediction of blood pressure, and thus analyzing the impact of aortic surgery on cardiac afterload, is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of aortic treatment, optimizing treatment plans, and improving medical devices. Current blood pressure calculation techniques mainly rely on zero-dimensional fluid dynamics models or three-dimensional fluid dynamics (CFD) models, but both have significant limitations. Existing methods often use a zero-dimensional heart model to drive a three-dimensional aortic model unidirectionally, failing to achieve bidirectional energy feedback between the heart and aorta. This makes it difficult to ensure the dynamic consistency between inlet flow boundary conditions and outlet pressure boundary conditions, and the microcirculation modeling of peripheral arterioles often relies on empirical parameters, failing to accurately reflect the spatiotemporal dynamic characteristics under physiological conditions. Furthermore, traditional models generally neglect the residual stress of the aortic wall and the active contraction of smooth muscle cells, describing the mechanical behavior of the vascular wall only with passive hyperelastic constitutive models. This leads to a distortion of the pressure-radius relationship and makes it difficult to explain the differences in hemodynamic characteristics during cardiac systole and diastole, as well as individual differences.
[0003] In fluid-structure interaction (FSI) techniques, existing methods mostly employ explicit iterative strategies, requiring frequent exchanges of boundary conditions between the fluid and solid domains. This leads to low computational efficiency and frequent interruptions due to convergence issues. Furthermore, the settings for inlet flow rate and outlet pressure often deviate from the dynamic characteristics of physiological valves. These shortcomings make it difficult for existing techniques to meet the dual requirements of high accuracy and high efficiency in scenarios such as non-steady-state blood flow and cardiac work assessment, thus limiting their application in clinical diagnosis and biomechanical research.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] This invention proposes a method and device for calculating blood pressure based on cross-scale fluid-structure interaction and considering the nonlinear biomechanical properties of the aorta, including: Step 1: Based on the geometric dimensions of the numerical simulation study, establish a three-dimensional ideal aortic geometric model; the geometric dimensions of the numerical simulation study include the inner radius, ascending aorta length, aortic arch radius, and descending aorta length under the initial pressure of the aortic model.
[0023] Step 2: Based on the functional characteristics of the left atrium and left ventricle and the concept of time-varying elastic function, establish a zero-dimensional lumped parameter model of the heart to simulate the process of the heart pumping blood to the aortic inlet through periodic contraction and relaxation; The functional characteristics of the left atrium and left ventricle are as follows: the left atrium receives oxygenated blood returning from the lungs and pumps it into the left ventricle through the mitral valve; while the left ventricle is the most powerful pumping chamber of the heart, responsible for pumping blood through the aortic valve into the aorta and delivering it to the whole body. Both work together to maintain normal blood circulation by opening and closing their valves, ensuring the orderly delivery of blood.
[0024] The time-varying elastic function can be considered as the constitutive equation of the left ventricle, which linearly relates the volume of the left ventricle to the intracardiac pressure of the left ventricle to simulate the pulsatile relaxation and contraction of the left ventricle, and is defined as follows:
[0025] in, This refers to the pressure within the left ventricle. Left ventricular volume This represents the left ventricular volume under stress-free conditions.

[0027] in, This is the maximum elastic value. For the minimum elastic value, The time to reach the maximum value The remaining time from the start of diastole, where T is the length of the cardiac cycle.
[0028] The zero-dimensional lumped-parameter model of the heart consists of electrical components such as diodes, resistors, and inductors, as well as the time-varying elastic function of the left ventricle and the elastic constant of the left atrium. The diodes simulate the functions of the mitral and aortic valves; the opening of these valves is determined by the negative pressure gradient in the direction of blood flow, and once opened, they remain open until reverse blood flow is detected. The resistors include the left atrial resistance. aortic valve resistance and left ventricular nonlinear resistance , It is a constant; inductance includes the left atrial inductance. and aortic valve inductance Left ventricular time-varying elastic function , Left ventricular volume Left ventricular volume under stress-free conditions; left atrial elastic constant. , Left atrial volume, This represents the left atrial volume under stress-free conditions.

[0042] Step 5: The three-dimensional aortic blood flow model is used to describe the propagation process of blood flow and blood pressure in the aorta, while the zero-dimensional heart lumped parameter model and the Windkessel blood flow model of the small arteries are used to describe the pumping of blood from the heart to the aortic inlet and the microcirculation process of blood flow in the peripheral small arteries, respectively. The parts are coupled with each other, and the data of each part are exchanged by setting the initial conditions and time steps, so as to realize the calculation and solution of the zero-dimensional-three-dimensional cross-scale fluid-structure interaction model.

At the outlet of the three-dimensional aortic model, the outlet pressure at the beginning of each time step is calculated based on the flow-pressure relationship at the outlet boundary, thus achieving data exchange between the zero-dimensional ternary Windkessel model of arterioles and the three-dimensional aortic model.

The pressure-radius relationship of the aortic blood vessel wall is obtained by fitting the function. This pressure-radius relationship is used as the boundary condition of the fluid wall to simulate the change process of the aortic radius in blood circulation. In this embodiment, the residual deformation gradient is calculated based on the residual deformation parameters of the porcine aortic wall shown in Table 3. Then, by applying 1.2 times the axial tension of the blood vessel wall and the effect of blood pressure, the load deformation gradient was calculated.
