Spatiotemporal correlation uncovers fractional scaling in cardiac tissue
Alessandro Loppini, Alessio Gizzi, Christian Cherubini +3
Complex spatiotemporal patterns of action potential duration have been shown to occur in many mammalian hearts due to a period-doubling bifurcation that develops with increasing fr…

Competing mechanisms of stress-assisted diffusivity and stretch-activated currents in cardiac electromechanics
A. Loppini, A. Gizzi, R. Ruiz Baier +3
We numerically investigate the role of mechanical stress in modifying the conductivity properties of the cardiac tissue and its impact in computational models for cardiac electrome…

Modelling thermo-electro-mechanical effects in orthotropic cardiac tissue
Ricardo Ruiz Baier, Alessio Gizzi, Alessandro Loppini +2
In this paper we introduce a new mathematical model for the active contraction of cardiac muscle, featuring different thermo-electric and nonlinear conductivity properties. The pas…
