Theme of conference:

This meeting will be devoted to mathematical and computational modelling of the heart from the subcellular to the whole organ level. The aim of the meeting is to emphasise how engineering and mathematical approaches coupled to physiology have advanced our understanding of cardiac function and are being used clinically in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.

The scientific programme will be focused on the heart and the combination of experimental and modelling research required for developing an integrated multi-scale and multi-physics cardiac model. Sessions will be organised within the themes of:

• Multiple physiological scales: sub-cellular, cellular, cell to cell communication, tissue structure and properties, whole heart structure and function
• Multiple Physics: Modelling and coupling of electrical excitation, mechanical contraction, coronary blood flow and ventricular fluid dynamics.
• Tools and infrastructure: The tools. the simulation, visualisation and databasing tools that are needed for integrative work by the community as a whole

Preliminary speakers will include:

Dan Beard (MCW), Don Bers (UC Daves), Peng-Sheng Chen (Krannert Institute of Cardiology), Edmund Crampin (Auckland), Igor Efimov (Johns Hopkins), David Eisner (Manchester), Flavio Fenton (Cornell), Alex Frangi (UPF), Alan Garfinkel (UCLA), Wayne Giles (Calgary), Peter Hunter (Auckland), Peter Kohl (Oxford), Yoshi Kurachi (Osaka), Satoshi Matsuoka (Kyoto), Andrew McCulloch (UCSD), Martyn Nash (Auckland), Sasha Panfilov (Utrecht), David Paterson (Oxford), Arkady Pertsov (SUNY Upstate Medical University), Reza Razavi (Kings College London), Frank Sachse (Utah), Guy Salama (Pittsburgh), Gunnar Seemann (Karlsruhe), PengCheng Shi (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology), Jos Spaan (Amsterdam) and Alistair Young (Auckland).
