Modelización computacional cardiaca
[EN] Cardiovascular diseases currently have a major social and economic impact, constituting one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Personalized computational models of the heart are demonstrating their usefulness both to help understand the mechanisms underlying cardiac disease, and to optimize their treatment and predict the patient's response. Within this framework, the Spanish Research Network for Cardiac Computational Modelling (VHeart-SN) has been launched. The general objective of the VHeart-SN network is the development of an integrated, modular and multiscale multiphysical computational model of the heart. This general objective is addressed through the following spe…
Meshless Electrophysiological Modeling of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy—Benchmark Analysis with Finite-Element Methods in Experimental Data
Computational models of cardiac electrophysiology are promising tools for reducing the rates of non-response patients suitable for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by optimizing electrode placement. The majority of computational models in the literature are mesh-based, primarily using the finite element method (FEM). The generation of patient-specific cardiac meshes has traditionally been a tedious task requiring manual intervention and hindering the modeling of a large number of cases. Meshless models can be a valid alternative due to their mesh quality independence. The organization of challenges such as the CRT-EPiggy19, providing unique experimental data as open access, enables b…
Modelización computacional cardiaca
Resumen Las enfermedades cardiovasculares tienen en la actualidad un gran impacto social y economico y constituyen una de las principales causas de mortalidad y morbilidad. Los modelos computacionales personalizados del corazon estan demostrando ser utiles tanto para ayudar a comprender los mecanismos subyacentes a las patologias cardiacas como para optimizar su tratamiento prediciendo la respuesta del paciente. En este contexto, se ha puesto en marcha la Red Espanola de Investigacion en Modelizacion Computacional Cardiaca (V-Heart SN). El objetivo general de V-Heart SN es el desarrollo de un modelo computacional multifisico y multiescala integrado del corazon. Este objetivo general se abor…
