Abstract

Based on the experimental evidence, we developed a one-dimensional (1D) model of heterogeneous myocardial tissue consisting of in-series connected cardiomyocytes from distant transmural regions using mathematical models of subendocardial and subepicardial cells. The regional deformation patterns produced by our 1D model are consistent with the transmural regional strain patterns obtained experimentally in the normal heart in vivo. The modelling results suggest that the mechanical load may essentially affect the transmural gradients in the electrical and mechanical properties of interacting myocytes within a tissue, thereby regulating global myocardial output.
