Overview

Simulations of ventricular function are sensitive to fiber parameters; leaves open their incorporation into patient-specific models.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patient-specific biventricle geometry (computational model)
I
Intervention
Different fibre directions and bulk modulus (incompressibility constraint and penalization)
O
Outcome
Pressure-volume relation simulating a full heart beatsurrogate

Computational electromechanical modeling demonstrates that fiber orientation and bulk modulus significantly impact simulated clinical parameters like stroke volume and ejection fraction.
