โฆ Synopsis
We present and discuss an electromechanical model of a cardiac-type excitable tissue that accounts for large deformations and involves a three-variables ionic dynamics. In particular, we exploit a novel point of view presented in [Nardinocchi, 2007] which introduces the notion of active deformation as opposed to that of active stress.

Simulating cardiac electromechanical activity is of great interest for a better understanding of pathologies and for therapy planning. Design and validation of such models is difficult due to the lack of clinical data. XMR systems are a new type of interventional facility in which patients can be ra
