Abstract:We present and study a mathematical model to simulate the calcium flux and contractile activity of the cardiomyocyte, resorting on the Finite Element Method. This Model of cardiac cells provide the possibility to understand the biochemistry and biomechanics of cardiac cells and cardiovascular diseases. Heart Failure is considered the ultimate cardiac disease, a condition with no effective cure which is highly related with the function of cardiomyocytes and consequently with the concentration of calcium, affect… Show more
