A geometric multiscale model for the numerical simulation of blood flow in the human left heart
Alberto Zingaro, Ivan Fumagalli, Luca Dede' +4
We present a new computational model for the numerical simulation of blood flow in the human left heart. To this aim, we use the Navier-Stokes equations in an Arbitrary Lagrangian…

3D-0D closed-loop model for the simulation of cardiac biventricular electromechanics
Roberto Piersanti, Francesco Regazzoni, Matteo Salvador +4
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…

Modeling cardiac muscle fibers in ventricular and atrial electrophysiology simulations
Roberto Piersanti, Pasquale C. Africa, Marco Fedele +4
Since myocardial fibers drive the electric signal propagation throughout the myocardium, accurately modeling their arrangement is essential for simulating heart electrophysiology (…
