A Cohort-Based Global Sensitivity Benchmark of MRI-Derived Whole-Heart Electromechanical Models in Healthy Hearts

The paper benchmarks global sensitivity analysis of whole-heart electromechanical models across five healthy subjects, finding haemodynamic parameters dominate cardiac function despite anatomical variation.

Multi-physics simulations reveal hemodynamic impacts of patient-derived fibrosis-related changes in left atrial tissue mechanics

This paper uses multi-physics simulations to show how fibrosis in left atrial tissue affects hemodynamics and increases stroke risk by altering flow patterns and reducing emptying fractions.

The openCARP Simulation Environment for Cardiac Electrophysiology

The paper introduces openCARP, an open-source simulation environment for cardiac electrophysiology, and describes its capabilities and potential to improve reproducibility and standardization in the field.
