This model is a simplified "0D" version of the 3D electromechanical cardiac model described in [Marchesseau, S. et al.] (1) and developed at **Inria Sophia Antipolis - Asclepios Team** (2).
It describes the mechanical behavior of a single heart ventricle, based on the Bestel-Clement-Sorine model of myocardial tissue as described in [Chapelle et al.] (3) and the Mooney-Rivlin (4) strain energy for passive elasticity. Hemodynamics are represented through global values of pressures and flows in the ventricular chambers. The mechanical equations are coupled to the 3-element Windkessel model (5) for the after-load. Finally, cardiac pre-load is modeled by a (prescribed) varying atrial pressure with a "pressure bump" at the beginning of the cardiac cycle, to account for atrial contraction.
Some features related to the dynamics of a heart valve are currently relying on an unorthodox CellML (6) implementation (**HOD.cellml**). Thus, to run this model in *OpenCOR* (7), specific **ODE solver** settings are needed:
- **Name:** `Euler (forward)`; and
- **Step:** `1e-05 second`.
For the simulation itself, we recommend using the following settings, which are used to compute 3 heartbeats:
- **Starting point:** `0 second`;
- **Ending point:** `2.4 second`; and
- **Point interval:** `0.001 second`.
Finally, for the output, we recommend creating 3 graph panels to, respectively, plot the following graphs:
- **Volume curve:** `V_mL` against the *variable of integration*;
- **Ventricular, atrial and aortic pressure curves:** `P_v`, `P_at` and `P_ar` against the *variable of integration*; and
- **Pressure-volume curve:** `P_v` against `V_mL`.
This exposure also comes with both a SED-ML (7) file (**HOD.sedml**) and a COMBINE archive (8) file (**HOD.omex**). They contain exactly this configuration and can be readily opened and run using OpenCOR 0.5 (available at http://www.opencor.ws/downloads).
