A fast computational model for the electrophysiology of the whole human heart [PDF]
In this study we present a novel computational model for unprecedented simulations of the whole cardiac electrophysiology. According to the heterogeneous electrophysiologic properties of the heart, the whole cardiac geometry is decomposed into a set of coupled conductive media having different topology and electrical conductivities: (i) a network of ...

The influence of different mechanical ventilator settings of peak inspiratory pressure on stroke volume variation in pediatric cardiac surgery patients [PDF]
BackgroundThe usefulness of dynamic parameters derived by heart-lung interaction for fluid responsiveness in pediatric patients has been revealed. However, the effects of peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) that could affect the absolute values and the ...
