A thermodynamically consistent monte carlo cross-bridge model with a trapping mechanism reveals the role of stretch activation in heart pumping

Changes in intracellular calcium concentrations regulate heart beats. However, the decline in the left ventricular pressure during early diastole is much sharper than that of the Ca2+ transient, resulting in a rapid supply of blood to the left ventricle during the diastole. At the tissue level, cardiac muscles have a distinct characteristic, known as stretch activation, similar to the function of insect flight muscles. Stretch activation, which is a delayed increase in force following a rapid muscle length increase, has been thought to be related to autonomous control in these muscles. In this numerical simulation study, we introduced a molecular mechanism of stretch activation and investigated the role of this mechanism in the pumping function of the heart, using the previously developed coupling multiple-step active stiffness integration scheme for a Monte Carlo (MC) cross-bridge model and a bi-ventricular finite element model. In the MC cross-bridge model, we introduced a mechanism for trapping the myosin molecule in its post-power stroke state. We then determined the rate constants of transitions for trapping and escaping in a thermodynamically consistent manner. Based on our numerical analysis, we draw the following conclusions regarding the stretch activation mechanism: (i) the delayed force becomes larger than the original isometric force because the population of trapped myosin molecules and their average force increase after stretching; (ii) the delayed force has a duration of more than a few seconds owing to a fairly small rate constant of escape from the trapped state. For the role of stretch activation in heart pumping, we draw the following conclusions: (iii) for the regions in which the contraction force decreases earlier than the neighboring region in the end-systole phase, the trapped myosin molecules prevent further lengthening of the myocytes, which then prevents further shortening of neighboring myocytes; (iv) as a result, the contraction forces are sustained longer, resulting in a larger blood ejection, and their degeneration is synchronized.
