Assessment of Atrioventricular Valve Regurgitation Using Biomechanical Cardiac Modeling
In this work we introduce the modeling of atrioventricular valve regurgitation in a spatially reduced order biomechanical heart model. The model can be fast calibrated using non-invasive data of cardiac magnet...

Patient-Specific Biomechanical Modeling of Cardiac Amyloidosis – A Case Study
We present a patient-specific biomechanical modeling framework and an initial case study for investigating cardiac amyloidosis (CA). Our patient-specific heartbeat simulations are in good agreement with the da...

Sequential State Estimation for Electrophysiology Models with Front Level-Set Data Using Topological Gradient Derivations
We propose a new sequential estimation method for making an electrophysiology model patient-specific, with data in the form of level sets of the electrical potential. Our method incorporates a novel correction...

Trials on Tissue Contractility Estimation from Cardiac Cine MRI Using a Biomechanical Heart Model
In this paper we apply specific data assimilation methods in order to estimate regional contractility parameters in a biomechanical heart model, using as measurements real Cine MR images obtained in an animal exp...

Constitutive Parameter Estimation Methodology Using Tagged-MRI Data
We propose a methodology for performing the estimation of a key constitutive parameter in a biomechanical heart model – namely, the tissue contractility – using tagged-MRI data. We adopt a sequential data assi...

Cardiac Function Estimation from MRI Using a Heart Model and Data Assimilation: Advances and Difficulties
In this article, we present a framework to estimate local myocardium contractility using clinical MRI, a heart model and data assimilation. First, we build a generic anatomical model of the ventricles includin...

Towards Model-Based Estimation of the Cardiac Electro-Mechanical Activity from ECG Signals and Ultrasound Images
We present a 3D numerical representation of the heart which couples the electrical and biomechanical models. To achieve this, the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations are solved along with a constitutive law based on the...
