A new MRI-based model of heart function with coupled hemodynamics and application to normal and diseased canine left ventricles

A new MRI-based model of heart function with coupled hemodynamics and application to normal and diseased canine left ventricles

A methodology for the simulation of heart function that combines an MRI-based model of cardiac electromechanics (CE) with a Navier-Stokes based hemodynamics (NSH) model is presented. The cardiac electromechanics model consists of two coupled components that simulate the electrical and the mechanical...
