Heart failure is the final funnel of all cardiac diseases, affects today 8% of the general population living in developed countries and is expected to reach 11% by 2030. Despite major improvements provided by optimization of medical therapy and prevention, this disease still has a high mortality rate and represents 1-2% of the total medical...

This paper presents a method for frame-based finite element model in order to develop fast personalised cardiac electromechanical models. Its originality comes from the choice of the deformation model: it relies on a reduced number of degrees of freedom represented by affine transformations located at arbitrary control nodes over a tetrahedral...

In this work we present a coupled electromechanical model of the heart for patient-specific simulations, and in particular cardiac resynchronisation therapy. To this end, we propose a fast fully autonomous and flexible pipeline to generate and optimise the data required to run the mechanical simulation. After the meshing of the biventricular...
