A mathematical model of hiPSC cardiomyocytes electromechanics

Abstract Human induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC‐CMs) are becoming instrumental in cardiac research, human‐based cell level cardiotoxicity tests, and developing patient‐specific care. As one of the principal functional readouts is contractility, we propose a novel electrome...
