Title
Numerical Simulation of the Electromechanical Activity of the Heart
Abstract
We present numerical results obtained with a three-dimensional electromechanical model of the heart with a complete realistic anatomy. The electrical activity of the heart-torso domain is described by the bidomain equations in the heart and a Laplace equation in the torso. The mechanical model is based on a chemically-controlled contraction law of the myofibres integrated in a 3D continuum mechanics description accounting for large displacements and strains, and the main cardiovascular blood compartments are represented by simplified lumped models. We considered a normal case and a pathological condition and the medical indicators resulting from the simulations show physiological values, both for mechanical and electrical quantities of interest, in particular pressures, volumes and ECGs.
