Automatic Mapping of Atrial Fiber Orientations for Patient-Specific Modeling of Cardiac Electromechanics using Image-Registration
Julia M. Hoermann, Martin R. Pfaller, Linda Avena +2
Knowledge of appropriate local fiber architecture is necessary to simulate patient-specific electromechanics in the human heart. However, it is not yet possible to reliably measure…

The importance of the pericardium for cardiac biomechanics: From physiology to computational modeling
Martin R. Pfaller, Julia M. Hörmann, Martina Weigl +4
The human heart is enclosed in the pericardial cavity. The pericardium consists of a layered thin sac and is separated from the myocardium by a thin film of fluid. It provides a fi…
