Analyses of the redistribution of work following cardiac resynchronisation therapy in a patient specific model. by Steven Alexander Niederer, Pablo Lamata, Gernot Plank, Phani Chinchapatnam, Matt Ginks, Kawal Rhode, Christopher Aldo Rinaldi, Reza Razavi, Nicolas Peter Smith

“…Simulations of electromechanical cardiac function in the model estimate the regional stress, strain and work pre- and post-CRT. These simulations predict that the increase in observed work performed by the septum following CRT is not due to an increase in the volume of myocardial tissue recruited during contraction but rather that the volume of recruited myocardium remains the same and the average peak work rate per unit volume increases. …”
