Hello,

I want to do simulations in a ventricle and compute the 12 lead ECG. Is there any way to do this in openCARP?

1. Do you have a mesh of a ventricle

2. Is there a way to compute the 12 lead ECG?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Nele,

You can insert your heart geometry inside the torso geometry. You will need to define the fiber direction of the torso to 0 in all directions. To better assist you about the ventricle mesh please contact me at jorge.arciniegas@kit.edu 

Best,

Jorge

Hi Jorge. Regarding this answer, I also have a question. Does the torso mesh have overlap with the heart mesh? If I would like to implement different mesh size on heart and torso, and I mesh them separately, do I combine them directly, or the overlap between torso and heart should be eliminated? Thanks a lot!

Hi  Yingnan,

There are several tools that will allow you to remesh your geometry with different sizes. I will suggest you to have a look on meshtool which interacts with openCARP.

Best,

Jorge
