Background and objective In this present research paper, a mathematical model has been developed to study myocyte contraction in the human cardiac muscle, using the Land model …
Two crucial factors for accurate numerical simulations of cardiac electromechanics, which are also essential to reproduce the synchronous activity of the heart, are:(i) accounting for …

Cardiomyopathies have unresolved genotype–phenotype relationships and lack disease- specific treatments. Here we provide a framework to identify genotype-specific …
Computer models of cardiac electro-mechanics (EM) show promise as an effective means for the quantitative analysis of clinical data and, potentially, for predicting therapeutic …
Coupled electromechanical waves define a heart's function in health and diseases. Optical mapping of electrical waves using fluorescent labels offers mechanistic insights into cardiac …
Parameterised patient-specific models of the heart enable quantitative analysis of cardiac function as well as estimation of regional stress and intrinsic tissue stiffness. However, the …
Fiber-reinforced soft biological tissues are typically modeled as hyperelastic, anisotropic, and nearly incompressible materials. To enforce incompressibility a multiplicative split of the …
Human-based modelling and simulation offer an ideal testbed for novel medical therapies to guide experimental and clinical studies. Myocardial infarction (MI) is a common cause of …
