Course description:
The course will provide detailed
insights in modeling approaches, which are applied to describe and
reconstruct physical properties and physiology of the cardiovascular
system. Students will be enabled to classify modeling approaches and
select appropriate models as research and development tools. We will
introduce and analyze mathematical models, which are used to quantify
electrophysiology at level of single channels, cells, tissue up to
whole organs. Models of cellular force development and tissue mechanics
will be discussed. Numerical methods for solving of the underlying
systems of equations will be addressed with regard to their efficient
implementation.
