In silico investigation of the short QT syndrome, using human ventricle models incorporating electromechanical coupling

Introduction Genetic forms of the Short QT Syndrome (SQTS) arise due to cardiac ion channel mutations leading to accelerated ventricular repolarisation, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Results from experimental and simulation studies suggest that changes to refractoriness and tissue vulnerabi...
