Integrative Systems Models of Cardiac Excitation–Contraction Coupling Alternans and Arrhythmias: From Cells to the Heart Computational Models Reduce Complexity and Accelerate Insight Into Cardiac Signaling Networks Whole Heart Modeling: Applications to Cardiac Electrophysiology and Electromechanics
Excitation–contraction coupling in the cardiac myocyte is mediated by a number of highly integrated mechanisms of intracellular Ca transport. The complexity and integrative nature of heart cell electrophysiology and Ca cycling has led to an evolution of computational models that have played a crucial role in shaping our understanding of heart function. An important emerging theme in systems bio...
متن کاملA FEM Multiscale Homogenization Procedure using Nanoindentation for High Performance Concrete
This paper aims to develop a numerical multiscale homogenization method for prediction of elasto-viscoplastic properties of a high performance concrete (HPC). The homogenization procedure is separated into two-levels according to the microstructure of the HPC: the mortar or matrix level and the concrete level. The elasto-viscoplastic behavior of individual microstructural phases of the matrix a...
متن کاملElectromechanical models of the ventricles.
Computational modeling has traditionally played an important role in dissecting the mechanisms for cardiac dysfunction. Ventricular electromechanical models, likely the most sophisticated virtual organs to date, integrate detailed information across the spatial scales of cardiac electrophysiology and mechanics and are capable of capturing the emergent behavior and the interaction between electr...
متن کاملThe Bridging Domain Multiscale Method and Its High Performance Computing Implementation
This paper presents a study on the feasibility of applying high performance computing (HPC) to the Bridging Domain Multiscale (BDM) method, so that featured scalable multiscale computations can be achieved. Wave propagation in a molecule chain through an entire computational domain is employed as an example to demonstrate its applicability and computing performance when multiscale-based simulat...
متن کاملParallel Left Ventricle Simulation Using the FEniCS Framework
Heart simulation is complex task that requires multiscale modeling on cell, tissue and organ levels. Such structure makes difficult high performance code development and its maintenance. In this paper, we evaluate how scientific software could be used for heart simulation. An overview of existing frameworks for automated scientific computing is presented. The FEniCS framework was chosen since i...
