Electromechanical Model of Cardiac Muscle Tissue with Mechano-Electrical Feedback
Many heart diseases are associated with arrhythmias of various nature. For a deeper understanding of the causes of arrhythmias formation and conditions of their persistence, as well as for the development of accurate personalized models that could be applied in medical practice, a detailed model of myocardial electromechanics is needed. Such a model should consider the interconnections of processes of various nature, and, if possible, be quite simple from a computational point of view. RUDN mathematicians present a prototype of the electromechanical model of the myocardium, in which the description of the electrical activation of the cardiac muscle by a simple Aliev-Panfilov model is coupled with a new model of myocardial mechanics developed by the group of the report author. The simulation results for the appearance and propagation of spiral waves of the action potential in deformable myocardium are shown. The effects of mechano-electrical feedback taken into account and introduced at the levels of the cell and tissue are demonstrated.
On November 10, the 13th All-Russian Scientific and Practical Conference “Means of Mass Communication in a Multipolar World: Problems and Prospects” was held at the RUDN Faculty of Philology. 78 researchers from leading Russian universities met at the same site.
5–7 October RUDN University hosted the conference “Commitment to Mental Health”. For three days, the invited participants of the event raised and discussed issues related to the social, psychological and medical aspects of the life of a modern person.
October 20, the “Surgery of the Skull Base” conference gathered together 30 leading neurosurgeons from 8 countries. The conference was organized by Albert Sufianov, Director of the Research Institute of Neurosurgery of the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Chief Physician of the Federal Center for Neurosurgery in Tyumen, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation.
