Towards a Biomechanical-Based Method for Assessing Myocardial Tissue Viability
Abstract
This work presents the first steps towards the development and implementation of a novel 3D biomechanical-based method for assessing the viability of myocardial tissue, with particular interest for its application in myocardial infarction (MI) diagnosis. This assessment technique quantifies the myocardial contraction forces developed within the ventricular myofibrils in response to the electrophysiological stimulus. In this manuscript we …
