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

Many biological tissues exhibit a non-standard continuum mechanics behavior: they are
able to modify their placement in absence of external loads. The activity of the muscles is …

The importance of myocardial perfusion at the outset of cardiac disease remains largely
understudied. To address this topic we present a mathematical model that considers the …

Understanding and predicting the mechanical behavior of myocardium under healthy and
pathophysiological conditions are vital to developing novel cardiac therapies and promoting …

We review and compare different fluid-structure interaction (FSI) numerical methods in the
context of heart modeling, aiming at assessing their computational efficiency for cardiac …
