McCulloch Professor of Bioengineering University of California San Diego amcculloch@ucsd.edu Experimental and Computational Modeling of Cardiac Electromechanical Interactions   There is a close and complex coupling between the electrical and mechanical activity of the heart. Dysregulation of these interaction mechanisms is associated with chronic cardiac pathologies and can be life threatening. Our objective is to develop biophysically detailed, structurally based computational models that integrate cardiac electromechanics from the molecular scale to that of the organ. Such models require experimental validation. I'll present some recent computational and experimental results that illustrate this approach. Some relevant information can be found on http://cmrg.ucsd.edu/
