N2 - The heart has been modeled as an anatomically arranged and oriented array of contracting fibers. The model was developed to study the interplay between cellular mechanisms and global myocardial function. Our modeling approach combines cellular electrophysiology, force development, and anatomical ventricle model into a multiscale model of cardiac contraction. The model represents myocardial deformation and fluid dynamics. Results show that the multiscale ventricular model is capable of simulating mechanical contraction, pressure generation and load interactions.
