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 …

Measurements of cardiac conduction velocity provide valuable functional and structural
insight into the initiation and perpetuation of cardiac arrhythmias, in both a clinical and …

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

Since myocardial fibers drive the electric signal propagation throughout the myocardium,
accurately modeling their arrangement is essential for simulating heart electrophysiology …

In order to simulate the cardiac function for a patient‐specific geometry, the generation of the
computational mesh is crucially important. In practice, the input is typically a set of …

Abstract Development of cardiac fibrosis and arrhythmias is controlled by the activity of and
communication between cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts in the heart. Myocyte-fibroblast …

Heterocellular electrotonic coupling between cardiac myocytes and non-excitable
connective tissue cells has been a long-established and well-researched fact in vitro …

Background Structural remodeling of human atria plays a key role in sustaining atrial
fibrillation (AF), but insufficient quantitative analysis of human atrial structure impedes the …

Mechano‐electric regulations (MER) play an important role in the maintenance of cardiac
performance. Mechano‐calcium and mechano‐electric feedback (MCF and MEF) pathways …

Key points• Previous studies have shown that atrial electrical properties are altered
(remodelled) by atrial fibrillation (AF) and that the recurrence of AF is high following …
