A model for patient‐specific cardiac mechanics simulation is introduced, incorporating a 3‐
dimensional finite element model of the ventricular part of the heart, which is coupled to a …

In this study we present a novel, robust method to couple finite element (FE) models of
cardiac mechanics to systems models of the circulation (CIRC), independent of cardiac …

Patient-specific models of cardiac function have the potential to improve diagnosis and
management of heart disease by integrating medical images with heterogeneous clinical …

The heart is not only our most vital, but also our most complex organ: Precisely controlled by
the interplay of electrical and mechanical fields, it consists of four chambers and four valves …

Computer models of cardiac electro-mechanics (EM) show promise as an effective means
for the quantitative analysis of clinical data and, potentially, for predicting therapeutic …

Supported by the wide range of available medical data available, cardiac biomechanical
modeling has exhibited significant potential to improve our understanding of heart function …

The eventual goal of this study is to develop methods for estimating dynamic stresses in the
left ventricle (LV) that could be used on-line in clinical settings, based on routinely available …

Personalised computational models of the heart are of increasing interest for clinical
applications due to their discriminative and predictive abilities. However, the simulation of a …

Mathematical modeling of the human heart and its function can expand our understanding of
various cardiac diseases, which remain the most common cause of death in the developed …

In numerical simulations of cardiac mechanics, coupling the heart to a model of the
circulatory system is essential for capturing physiological cardiac behavior. A popular and …
