Abstract
- In this paper we introduce the electromechanical mathematical model of the human heart. After deriving it from physical first principles, we discuss its mathematical properties and the way numerical methods can be set up to obtain numerical approximations of the (otherwise unachievable) mathematical solutions. The major challenges that we need to face—e.g., possible lack of initial and boundary data, the trade off between increasing the accuracy of the numerical model and its computational complexity—are addressed. Numerical tests here presented have a twofold aim: to show that numerical solutions match the expected theoretical rate of convergence, and that our model can provide a preliminary valuable tool to face problems of clinical relevance.
