The article presents a comprehensive study on a 3D-0D
closed-loop model for simulating biventricular electromechanics in the context
of the heart and circulatory system interaction. The model incorporates
detailed descriptions of the muscular fiber architecture within the heart to
accurately represent cardiac activity. By considering the interaction between
the left and right ventricles, the study highlights the importance of a
biventricular approach over a stand-alone left ventricle model. The model accounts
for active tension along different directions within the heart, showing how it
impacts cardiac work and efficiency. Additionally, the article discusses the
distribution of stress on the ventricular base and the implications of
different stress distribution approaches. Overall, the study emphasizes the
significance of a holistic approach to simulating cardiac electromechanics,
considering both ventricles and their interplay within the cardiovascular
system.
