With heart and cardiovascular diseases continually challenging healthcare systems
worldwide, translating basic research on cardiac (patho) physiology into clinical care is …

▪ Abstract Computational models of the electrical and mechanical function of the heart are
reviewed. These models attempt to explain the integrated function of the heart in terms of …

In 438 alphabetically-arranged essays, this work provides a useful overview of the core
mathematical background for nonlinear science, as well as its applications to key problems …

In flows, material does not vanish, nor does new material appear. The velocity fields
therefore have to satisfy conservation of mass. This law is easiest to formulate for steady …

Finite elasticity theory combined with finite element analysis provides the framework for
analysing ventricular mechanics during the filling phase of the cardiac cycle, when cardiac …

Sudden cardiac death is the leading cause of death in the industrialized world, with the
majority of such tragedies being due to ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation is a …

We present a framework for the analysis of short axis cardiac MRI, using statistical models of
shape and appearance. The framework integrates temporal and structural constraints and …

Mathematical models of the action potential in the periphery and center of the rabbit
sinoatrial (SA) node have been developed on the basis of published experimental data …

In this work, a parallel three-dimensional solver for numerical simulations in computational
electrocardiology is introduced and studied. The solver is based on the anisotropic …
