I’m happy to say that some of the questions I posted on the Cardiac Simulation LinkedIn group have garnered some answers. In particular, the discussions about modeling tools for cardiac simulation and source code access have had some traffic from … Continue reading →

Most of the modern meshing done by CardioSolv and its members is done using a software package called Tarantula. It was used in many of the publications listed on this site. We are now happy to announce that through a … Continue reading →

Researchers at the University of Leeds have announced the development of a new, portable magnetometer that could be used to detect regions of ischemia and other heart conditions in an economical and portable package. The article is light on details, … Continue reading →

If you’re interested or involved in cardiac simulation, and not yet a member of the new Cardiac Simulation Group on LinkedIn, follow the link and join! We’ve got 30 members so far, representing a broad range of companies, academic institutions, … Continue reading →

I watch the news for cardiac electrophysiology-related stuff, and most of it is press releases from this or that company about their new devices, but this article on theft of “crash cart” defibrillators is one of the more bizarre things … Continue reading →

Solution of the ODEs and PDEs involved in cardiac simulation is actually rather straightforward, and it’s been implemented over and over by many groups around the world. Even in my former lab, we used four different implementations during the course … Continue reading →

The title of this blog post may seem to poke fun at simulations, but it’s based on a story recounted in a blog post entitled Simulation: Fact or Fantasy?. In it, Joel Orr describes a NASA engineer’s outrage at his … Continue reading →
