A comprehensive and biophysically detailed computational model of the whole human heart electromechanics

Marco Fedele, Roberto Piersanti, Francesco Regazzoni +6

While ventricular electromechanics is extensively studied, four-chamber heart models have only been addressed recently; most of these works however neglect atrial contraction. Inde…

Electromechanical modeling of human ventricles with ischemic cardiomyopathy: numerical simulations in sinus rhythm and under arrhythmia

Matteo Salvador, Marco Fedele, Pasquale Claudio Africa +6

We developed a novel patient-specific computational model for the numerical simulation of ventricular electromechanics in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). This model re…
