Active Force Generation in Cardiac Muscle Cells: Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Simulation of the Actin-Myosin Interaction

Cardiac in silico numerical simulations are based on mathematical models describing the physical processes involved in the heart function. In this review paper, we critically survey biophysically-detailed mathematical models describing the subcellular mech ...

Increasing heart vascularisation after myocardial infarction using brain natriuretic peptide stimulation of endothelial and WT1(+) epicardial cells

Na Li

Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) treatment increases heart function and decreases heart dilation after myocardial infarction (MI). Here, we investigated whether part of the cardioprotective effect of BNP in infarcted hearts related to improved neovascularis ...

Investigating the variability of cardiac pulse artifacts across heartbeats in simultaneous EEG-fMRI recordings: A 7T study

Rolf Gruetter, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Lucie Bréchet

Electroencephalography (EEG) recordings performed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners are affected by complex artifacts caused by heart function, often termed pulse artifacts (PAs). PAs can strongly compromise EEG data quality, and remain an open ...

Analysis of photosensor frontends for biomedical applications: a focus on noise

Paul Stanislas Gosselin

Photosensing has proven to be highly useful in biomedical research and medical care. Being able to detect and quantify the light emitted by fluorescent or bioluminescent reporters has significantly participated in the development of new cancer treatments a ...

Multi-Spectral Widefield Microscopy of the Beating Heart through Post-Acquisition Synchronization and Unmixing

Michael Stefan Daniel Liebling, Christian Jaques

Multi-spectral imaging allows distinguishing biological structures. For cardiac microscopy, available devices are either too slow or require illumination intensities that are detrimental to the sample. We present a method for spectral super-resolution imag ...

Virtual High-Framerate Microscopy of the Beating Heart via Sorting of Still Images

Michael Stefan Daniel Liebling, Olivia Mariani

Microscopy of the beating heart in embryos provides key insights for the study of its development. However, achieving a sufficiently high framerate is difficult with conventional cameras. Here, we present a method to reconstruct an image sequence covering ...

A monolithic algorithm for the simulation of cardiac electromechanics in the human left ventricle

Alfio Quarteroni, Antonello Gerbi

In this paper, we propose a monolithic algorithm for the numerical solution of the electromechanics model of the left ventricle in the human heart. Our coupled model integrates the monodomain equation with the Bueno-Orovio minimal model for electrophysiolo ...

Impact of individual differences in glucocorticoid adaptation to stress on behavior, neurophysiology and metabolism

Damien Sébastien Huzard

The stress system is a key modulator of homeostasis and allows organisms to adapt to environmental changes. Proper survival is dependent on the appropriate stress response, for example initiating food (energy) intake or provoking physical reaction. However ...

Numerical approximation of cardiac electro-fluid-mechanical models

Antonello Gerbi

The mathematical modeling of the heart involves several challenges, which are intrinsically related to the complexity of its function. A satisfactory cardiac model must be able to describe a wide range of different processes, such as the evolution of the t ...

Integrated Heart-Coupling multiscale and multiphysics models for the simulation of the cardiac function

Alfio Quarteroni, Ricardo Esteban Ruiz Baier, Toni Mikael Lassila, Simone Rossi

Mathematical modeling of the human heart and its function can expand our understanding of various cardiac diseases, which remain the most common cause of death in the developed world. Like other physiological systems, the heart can be understood as a compl ...
