Theme of conference:
This meeting will be devoted to mathematical and computational modelling of the heart from the subcellular to the whole organ level. The aim of the meeting is to emphasise how engineering and mathematical approaches coupled to physiology have advanced our understanding of cardiac function and are being used clinically in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.
The scientific programme will be focused on the heart and the combination of experimental and modelling research required for developing an integrated multi-scale and multi-physics cardiac model. Sessions will be organised within the themes of:
- Multiple physiological scales: sub-cellular, cellular, cell to cell communication, tissue structure and properties, whole heart structure and function
- Multiple Physics: Modelling and coupling of electrical excitation, mechanical contraction, coronary blood flow and ventricular fluid dynamics.
- Tools and infrastructure: The tools. the simulation, visualisation and databasing tools that are needed for integrative work by the community as a whole
