Analysis of the electro-mechanical activation sequence of the myocardium following the path described by the HVMB

摘要

In order to contribute in the study of the HVMB, a computational model to simulate the behaviour of the myo-cardial tissue, mainly based in the fibre, is presented in a computational simplified model of the HVMB. The results obtained are compared with others works in the literature to conclude that if the electro-mechanical activation sequence in the myocardium coincides with the path described by the HVMB the path and the delay observed in the shortening of the fibres are according with the expected and observed behaviour in real hearts.
