Book Description:

This book is devoted to computer-based modeling in cardiology, by
taking an educational point of view, and by summarizing knowledge from
several, commonly considered delimited areas of cardiac research in a
consistent way.

First, the foundations and numerical techniques from mathematics are
provided, with a particular focus on the finite element and finite
differences methods. Then, the theory of electric fields and continuum
mechanics is introduced with respect to numerical calculations in
anisotropic biological media. In addition to the presentation of
digital image processing techniques, the following chapters deal with
particular aspects of cardiac modeling: cardiac anatomy, cardiac
electro physiology, cardiac mechanics, modeling of cardiac electro
mechanics.

This book was written for researchers in modeling and cardiology, for
clinical cardiologists, and for advanced students.
