CEA-EDF-INRIA General information

Framework and objectives :

The modelling of the heart behaviour and the power of data acquisition techniques (ECG, ultrasound or MRI images,...) have greatly improved in the recent past. In vivo measurements of the cardiac activity are widely available and routinely used in clinical practice, but much relevant information is not accessible from the data per se, as e.g. for stress-related quantities and spatial distributions of action potentials. In order to retrieve this information modelling is required. In turn, the complexity and diversity of the biophysical phenomena underlying the heart behaviour represent a major challenge for modelling. In particular the various inputs (constitutive parameters, boundary conditions,...) necessary to perform accurate simulations of the models cannot be determined a priori. Hence, confronting the simulation results with actual data is crucial for validating models and exploiting their predicting capabilities in view of medical applications.
This school will survey the modelling of the biophysical processes at work in the cardiac behaviour, as well as the related numerical simulation procedures and measurement techniques. Special emphasis will be placed on the strategies directed towards "coupling" models and data to take up medical challenges.
