We present an integrated model of mitral valve coupled with the left ventricle. The model is derived from clinical images and takes into account of the important valvular features, left ventricle contraction, nonlinear soft tissue mechanics, fluid structure interaction, and the MV-LV interaction. This model is compared with a corresponding mitraltube model, and differences in the results are discussed. Although the model is a step closer towards simulating physiological realistic situation, further work is required to ensure that the highly complex valvularventricular interaction, and the fluid-structure interaction, can be reliably represented.
