Active contraction of the left ventricle with cardiac tissue modelled as a micromorphic medium
The myocardium is composed of interconnected cardiac fibres which are responsible for contraction of the heart chambers. There are several challenges related to computational modelling of cardiac muscle tissue. This is due in part to the anisotropic, non-linear and time-dependent behaviour as well a...
