A new electromechanical modeling framework adapted to atrial measurement data allows for realistic simulation of atrial motion during the contraction cycle.
This study presents a novel electromechanical modeling framework that successfully simulates realistic atrial contraction, providing a tool for deeper insight into cardiac physiological processes.
Cardiac computer modeling can help to gain a deeper insight into the physiological processes of the heart. In this work we present a new electromechanical modeling framework which allows to simulate the contraction of the atria in a model of the whole heart with realistic boundary conditions. For the active tension development (TD) we used a model, which was originally developed to describe the TD of the ventricles. However, TD in the atria differs significantly from that of the ventricles. On that account, we adapted the TD model to the measurement data of the atria. The modeling framework allows to obtain a realistic motion of the atria during the contraction cycle.
