title = "3D-Shell Electromechanical Modeling of the Left Atrium",
abstract = "The thin-walled nature of the atrial wall can lead to numerical locking issues when using 3D models discretized with standard finite elements. In order to circumvent these issues, we introduce a comprehensive electromechanical model of the left atrium based on a 3D-shell formulation. The model integrates both the passive and active components of the atrial tissue, while blood flow and the mitral valve dynamics are described in a lumped parameter fashion. The resulting model is discretized with a finite element approach specifically designed to mitigate numerical locking. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is evaluated by comparing the numerical results with biomarkers reported in the literature, in the case of both healthy and pathological conditions.",
