We’re developing a self-contained virtual machine image (using Sun’s VirtualBox platform) that will allow you to run an entire CardioSolv Simulation Manager, simulator, and model visualization tools (Meshalyzer) on your machine, just by loading it up in VirtualBox. We are … Continue reading →

This is the first in a series of posts about the hows and whys of cardiac simulation, both electrophysiological and mechanical. The heart is an extremely complicated organ. It’s composed of many different cell types, including cardiomyocytes, conduction system cells … Continue reading →

Have you ever had an idea for changes to a device, or a new experimental protocol, and wanted to test it? Did you balk at doing an animal study, given the time and money required? One excellent use of cardiac … Continue reading →

The CardioSolv Simulation Manager (see this and this), is now up and running on the POD cluster. With the CSM running on this system, you can simultaneously run many cardiac simulations and do post-processing analysis. It’s all handled on the … Continue reading →

Cardiac simulation can be useful on its own, but it’s especially powerful when paired with animal or tissue models. A simulation model can be set up that is analogous to the experimental model, validated against the experimental model, and used … Continue reading →

We are really excited about our self-service CardioSolv Simulation Manager (CSM), featured here and here. The CardioSolv Simulation Manager makes it possible to run simulations with a minimal effect on your budget, and we continue to strive to make it … Continue reading →

Below the cut, you will find the second screencast demo of our web-based simulation creator, manager, and analysis tool. In the video, a stable spiral wave in a monodomain sheet is analyzed using four techniques: Activation Mapping: The activation times … Continue reading →

Below the cut, you will find the first screencast demo of our web-based simulation creator, manager, and analysis tool. In the video, three simulations are run. In the first, a plane wave is initiated moving across a sheet. In the … Continue reading →
