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

In today's digital world the information surges with the widespread use of the internet and
global communication systems. Healthcare systems are also facing digital transformations …

We review twelve invariant and dispersion-type anisotropic hyperelastic constitutive models
for soft biological tissues based on their fitting performance to various experimental data. To …

Computational models have become essential in predicting medical device efficacy prior to
clinical studies. To investigate the performance of a left-ventricular assist device (LVAD), a …

We propose and analyse the properties of a new class of models for the electromechanics of
cardiac tissue. The set of governing equations consists of nonlinear elasticity using a …

The current study aims to investigate the role of mechano-electric feedback (MEF) in healthy
cardiac cycles and in cardiac arrhythmia using human ventricular models. The numerical …

In this work, aspects considering material modeling of electro‐mechanical coupling in fiber
reinforced electro‐active polymers (EAP) and the corresponding finite element …

This study develops a new hybrid active contraction model for myocardial dynamics
abstracted from sarcomere by combining the phenomenologically active-stress based Hill …

In this communication a spectral constitutive equation for nonlinear viscoelastic-electroactive
bodies with short-term memory response is developed, using the total stress formulation and …

Understanding tissue rheology is critical to accurately model the human heart. While the
elastic properties of cardiac tissue have been extensively studied, its viscous properties …
