While ventricular electromechanics is extensively studied in both physiological and
pathological conditions, four-chamber heart models have only been addressed recently; …

Chaste ('Cancer, heart and soft-tissue environment') is a software library and a set of test
suites for computational simulations in the domain of biology. Current functionality has …

Electromechanical (EM) models of the heart have been used successfully to study
fundamental mechanisms underlying a heart beat in health and disease. However, in all …

Cardiac arrhythmias cause significant morbidity and mortality and pose a major public
health problem. They arise from disruptions in the normally orderly propagation of cardiac …

We propose a finite element approximation of a system of partial differential equations
describing the coupling between the propagation of electrical potential and large …

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for about 50% of heart failure
cases. It has features of incomplete relaxation and increased stiffness of the left ventricle …

Computational models of cardiac electromechanics (EM) are increasingly being applied to
clinical problems, with patient-specific models being generated from high fidelity imaging …

We introduce and study some scalable domain decomposition preconditioners for cardiac
electro-mechanical 3D simulations on parallel HPC (High Performance Computing) …

Reduced-order modeling techniques enable a remarkable speed up in the solution of the
parametrized electromechanical model for heart dynamics. Being able to rapidly …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models of blood flow in the left ventricle (LV) and aorta
are important tools for analyzing the mechanistic links between myocardial deformation and …
