Abstract EN
We present a fully coupled electromechanical model of the heart.
The model integrates cardiac electrophysiology and cardiac mechanics through excitation-induced contraction and deformation-induced current.
Numerical schemes based on finite element were implemented in a supercomputer.
Numerical examples were presented using a thin cardiac tissue and a dog ventricle with realistic geometry.
Performance of the parallel simulation scheme was studied.
The model provides a useful tool to understand cardiovascular dynamics.
