We present an electromechanical model of myocardium tissue coupling a modified FitzHugh– Nagumo type system, describing the electrical activity of the excitable media, with finite …
Understanding and predicting the mechanical behavior of myocardium under healthy and pathophysiological conditions are vital to developing novel cardiac therapies and promoting …
Mathematical modeling of the human heart and its function can expand our understanding of various cardiac diseases, which remain the most common cause of death in the developed …
Many biological tissues exhibit a non-standard continuum mechanics behavior: they are able to modify their placement in absence of external loads. The activity of the muscles is …
The complex phenomena underlying mechanical contraction of cardiac cells and their influence in the dynamics of ventricular contraction are extremely important in understanding …
The coupling between cardiac mechanics and electric signaling is addressed in a nonstandard framework in which the electrical potential dictates the active strain (not stress) …

SUMMARY A model for the active deformation of cardiac tissue considering orthotropic constitutive laws is introduced and studied. In particular, the passive mechanical properties …
We investigate the interaction of intracellular calcium spatio-temporal variations with the self- sustained contractions in cardiac myocytes. A consistent mathematical model is presented …
