Abstract

We extend the modeling of a cardiac tissue composite by proper homogenization of all the different mechanical contributions to the constitutive tensor as well as the contributions to the diffusion tensor and the electrical source current in the parabolic system. The model is applied to support the interpretation of experimental findings in drug testing being able to explain the results at the cellular level. Moreover the model can be used for the prediction of drug effects on cardiac tissue and for computational studies of cardiomyocyte and cardiac tissue electromechanics.
