Using Systolic Local Mechanical Load to Predict Fiber Orientation in Ventricles
A simple rule adopted for myofiber reorientation in the ventricles is pursued by taking the microscopic branching network of myocytes into account. The macroscopic active tension generated on the microscopic branching structure is modeled by a multidirectional active stress tensor, which is defined...
