Effect of myocardial heterogeneity on ventricular electro-mechanical responses: a computational study

Abstract Background The heart wall exhibits three layers of different thicknesses: the outer epicardium, mid-myocardium, and inner endocardium. Among these layers, the mid-myocardium is typically the thickest. As indicated by preliminary studies, heart-wall layers exhibit various characteristics wit...
