Integration of an Electrophysiologically Driven Heart Model into Three-Dimensional Haemodynamics Simulation Using the CRIMSON Control Systems Framework

Abstract

We create a multiphysics cardiovascular model by integrating the electrical and active tension generation properties of the cardiac myocyte into a lumped parameter network model of the left ventricle, which is then applied to create a boundary condition for three-dimensional haemodynamics simulation. The process demonstrates the power and flexibility of the CRIMSON Boundary Condition Toolbox and Control Systems Framework, our accessible tools for designing, implementing and testing novel physiological controlled boundary conditions for fluid flow.
