The treatment of individual patients in cardiology practice increasingly relies on advanced
imaging, genetic screening and devices. As the amount of imaging and other diagnostic …

Precision medicine is a new frontier in healthcare that uses scientific methods to customize
medical treatment to the individual genes, anatomy, physiology, and lifestyle of each person …

Providing therapies tailored to each patient is the vision of precision medicine, enabled by
the increasing ability to capture extensive data about individual patients. In this position …

Background Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by
the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the …

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 …

Mathematical models of the human heart are evolving to become a cornerstone of precision
medicine and support clinical decision making by providing a powerful tool to understand …

In this work, we present a fully coupled fluid‐electro‐mechanical model of a 50th percentile
human heart. The model is implemented on Alya, the BSC multi‐physics parallel code …

Experimental data from human cardiac myocytes at body temperature is crucial for a
quantitative understanding of clinically relevant cardiac function and development of whole …

The immersed boundary method is an approach to fluid‐structure interaction that uses a
Lagrangian description of the structural deformations, stresses, and forces along with an …

Patient-specific cardiac models are now being used to guide therapies. The increased use
of patient-specific cardiac simulations in clinical care will give rise to the development of …
