Electromechanics of paced left ventricle simulated by straightforward mathematical model: comparison with experiments.
Intraventricular synchrony of cardiac activation is important for efficient pump function. Ventricular pacing restores the beating frequency but induces more asynchronous depolarization and more inhomogeneous contraction than in the normal heart. We investigated whether the increased inhomogeneity in the left ventricle can be described by a relatively simple mathematical model of cardiac electr...
متن کاملMechanisms of transmurally varying myocyte electromechanics in an integrated computational model
The mechanical properties of myocardium vary across the transmural aspect of the left ventricular wall. Some of these functional heterogeneities may be related to differences in excitation-contraction coupling characteristics that have been observed in cells isolated from the epicardial, mid-myocardial and endocardial regions of the left ventricle of many species, including canine. Integrative ...
متن کاملA new multi-objective mathematical model for a Citrus supply chain network design: Metaheuristic algorithms
Nowadays, the citrus supply chain has been motivated by both industrial practitioners and researchers due to several real-world applications. This study considers a four-echelon citrus supply chain, consisting of gardeners, distribution centers, citrus storage, and fruit market. A Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) model is formulated, which seeks to minimize the total cost and maximi...
متن کاملIntra- and interventricular asynchrony of electromechanics in the ventricularly paced heart
The degree of restoration of pump function by ventricular pacing depends on the pacing site and timing of pacing. Numerical models of cardiac electromechanics could be used to investigate the relation between the ventricular pacing site and timing on the one side, and pump function on the other. In patient-specific models, these numerical models could be used to optimize location and timing for...
متن کاملA New Minimum Order Lumped-Parameter Model of Circulatory System for Patients with Suffered Left and Right-Sided Heart Failure
In this study a new minimum lumped electrical model of total circulatory system through numerical solutions to approximate the response of the human circulatory system was presented. Among five existent ventricular elastances as activity function of heart pumps, a more accurate model was chosen as well as the operation of baroreflex system to accommodate variations in heart rate and systemic va...
