Detailed Description

Implementation of the ODE-based, stretch-dependent, stretch-rate-INdependent, contraction model detailed in the appendix of Kerchoffs 2003 "Intra- and interventricular asynchrony of electromechanics in the ventricularly paced heart".

void Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel::EvaluateYDerivatives	(	double	time,
		const std::vector< double > &	rY,
		std::vector< double > &	rDY
	)			`[virtual]`

The derivative function of the one state variable: "lc" in reference, the length of the contractile element

Parameters:

	time	time
	rY	1D vector containing lc
	rDY	1D vector in which dlc/dt is set

Implements AbstractOdeSystem.

double Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel::GetActiveTension ( ) [virtual]

Get the active tension (note: actually a stress), ie kPa

Implements AbstractContractionModel.

Definition at line 118 of file Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel.cpp.

References AbstractOdeSystem::mStateVariables.

Referenced by GetNextActiveTension().

double Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel::GetActiveTension ( double lengthOfContractileElement ) [private]

Get the active tension as a function of length of contractile element. This is private. The public GetActiveTension() calls this using the value of lc in the state variable

Parameters:

lengthOfContractileElement

length of contractile element (the state variable in this model).

double Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel::GetNextActiveTension ( ) [virtual]

Get the active tension corresponding to the temporary stored state variables produced by calling RunDoNotUpdate (and before calling UpdateStateVariables())

Implements AbstractContractionModel.

bool Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel::IsStretchDependent ( ) [inline, virtual]

This model is stretch-dependent

Implements AbstractContractionModel.

Definition at line 113 of file Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel.hpp.

bool Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel::IsStretchRateDependent ( ) [inline, virtual]

This model is stretch-rate-independent

Implements AbstractContractionModel.

Definition at line 121 of file Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel.hpp.

void Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel::SetInputParameters ( ContractionModelInputParameters & rInputParameters ) [virtual]

Set the input parameters. The calcium concentration is not used. If the voltage is such that activation has occured (gone above 40mV), the state is set to active and the time saved as the activation time. The state is set to inactive if the voltage goes below -70.

Parameters:

rInputParameters

reference to the input parameters

Implements AbstractContractionModel.
