This book focuses on computational tools and modeling techniques in cardiovascular and respiratory systems that help develop bioengineered solutions. It demonstrates how these technologies can be utilized in order to tackle diseases and medical issues. Topics include computer modeling of Purkinje fibers with different electrical potential applied, modeling of cardiomyopathies caused by sarcomeric gene mutations, altered sarcomere function, perturbations in intracellular ion homeostasis, impaired myocardial energetics at reduced costs, and more.
