The Heart by Numbers: Integrating Theory, Computation and Experiment to Advance Cardiology is organized by Biophysical Society and would be held during Sep 04 - 07, 2018 at Max Delbruck Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association, Berlin, Germany. The target audience for this medical event for Cardiologists.

Course Description:

The focus on mathematical and biophysical models coupled with experiments sets this meeting apart from cardiological and biological meetings. The meeting will be highly interdisciplinary with contributions from medicine, biology, physics, bioengineering, and mathematics. Specifically, topics will include:

• Cell level: modeling of excitation-contraction coupling, sarcomere models, metabolic modeling, ROS signaling, spatially resolved models and subcellular structures

• Hemodynamics: flow in atria and ventricles, aortic flow, valve stenosis replacement, stenting

• Organ level: Electrophysiology, Mechanics, total heart function, personalization

• Modelling diseases: arrhythmia, antitachypacing, and defibrillation, Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
