Computational Cardiology: Modeling of Anatomy, Electrophysiology, and Mechanics

“Computational Cardiology: Modeling of Anatomy, Electrophysiology, and Mechanics” likely features research and methodologies in computational modeling applied to cardiology. This interdisciplinary field integrates computer science, mathematics, engineering, and cardiology to simulate and study the structure, function, and dynamics of the heart.

The book may cover topics such as:

1. Anatomy Modeling: Computational techniques for constructing detailed anatomical models of the heart, including the chambers, valves, coronary arteries, and conduction system.
2. Electrophysiology Simulation: Modeling of cardiac electrical activity, including action potential propagation, ion channel dynamics, and arrhythmia mechanisms. These simulations can help understand the mechanisms underlying various cardiac rhythm disorders and guide treatment strategies.
3. Mechanics and Hemodynamics: Simulation of cardiac mechanics, including myocardial contraction, ventricular deformation, and blood flow dynamics within the heart and vasculature. Computational models can provide insights into cardiac function, hemodynamic parameters, and the effects of cardiac interventions.
