Description
In this talk, we review mathematical and numerical models of the human heart that are able to capture both its physiology and pathological conditions. We focus on the differential models underlying cardiac electrophysiology, mechanics, and blood flow dynamics, including those that describe the fiber bundles characteristic of cardiac tissue. We then present an overview of the numerical methods implemented in the finite element library lifex for simulating these core models, as well as the multiscale and multiphysics integrated models upon which the iHEART simulator is built. This presentation provides the foundation for the hands-on tutorial session on the lifex library.
