Quantitative study of the effect of tissue microstructure on contraction in a computational model of rat left ventricle

<p style="text-align:justify;"> Tissue microstructure, in particular the alignment of myocytes (fibre direction) and their lateral organisation into sheets, is fundamental to cardiac function. We studied the effect of microstructure on contraction in a computational model of rat lef...
