The role of mechano-electric feedbacks and hemodynamic coupling in scar-related ventricular tachycardia

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Stefano Pagani

Mechano-electric feedbacks (MEFs), which model how mechanical stimuli are transduced into electrical signals, have received sparse investigation by considering electromechanical simulations in simplified scenarios. In this paper, we study the effects of di ...
