Cardiac Electromechanical Models: From Cell to Organ
The heart is a multiphysics and multiscale system that has driven the development of the most sophisticated mathematical models at the frontiers of computational physiology and medicine. This review focuses on electromechanical (EM) models of the heart from the molecular level of myofilaments to anatomical models of the organ. Because of the coupling in terms of function and emergent behaviors ...
متن کاملDifferentiating Electromechanical From Non-Electrical Substrates of Mechanical Discoordination to Identify Responders to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) mechanical discoordination, often referred to as dyssynchrony, is often observed in patients with heart failure regardless of QRS duration. We hypothesized that different myocardial substrates for LV mechanical discoordination exist from (1) electromechanical activation delay, (2) regional differences in contractility, or (3) regional scar and that we could diff...
متن کاملElectromechanical model of excitable tissue to study reentrant cardiac arrhythmias.
We introduce the concept of a contracting excitable medium that is capable of conducting non-linear waves of excitation that in turn initiate contraction. Furthermore, these kinematic deformations have a feedback effect on the excitation properties of the medium. Electrical characteristics resemble basic models of cardiac excitation that have been used to successfully study mechanisms of reentr...
متن کاملElectromechanical models of the ventricles.
Computational modeling has traditionally played an important role in dissecting the mechanisms for cardiac dysfunction. Ventricular electromechanical models, likely the most sophisticated virtual organs to date, integrate detailed information across the spatial scales of cardiac electrophysiology and mechanics and are capable of capturing the emergent behavior and the interaction between electr...
متن کاملEditorial: Plant Organ Abscission: From Models to Crops
The shedding of plant organs is a highly coordinated process essential for both vegetative and Research with model plants, namely floral organ abscission in Arabidopsis and leaf, flower and fruit abscission of tomato, and seed shattering in rice has provided new insights in to the molecular mechanisms underlying abscission. However, little is known about how these mechanisms that take place in ...
