I am one of three students working on a biomedical-cardiovascular project this semester. Currently in the field of biomedical engineering there is not heart model that allows for an analysis of the inefficiencies caused by dyssynchrony. Dyssynchrony is when the two sides of the ventricle wall do not contract at the same time, creating sloshing, which can cause many problems within the heart. Due to a confidentiality agreement not a lot can be said on the description of our model.
We have been working on our heart model the past two months and finally on the 15th attempt we got it completed and it runs correctly! YAY!! We are extremely excited about this. Although, our final design review is next Wednesday and many deliverables and findings are due. Those include starting to thermodynamically analyze our model, evaulate other heart data we have been given, and create a journal entry that will be entered into a medium impact journal. We are looking forward to see what findings we can learn from this model. We are hoping that this will allow for advancements in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.
