Timings

Module summary

Tags: Timings

Timings for whole heart simulations.

This module sets timings for whole heart simulations. It is designed for hearts with 2 artia (Chambers) and 2 ventricles (TriSeg) which results in five walls: Left and Rigth atrial wall and Left, septal, and right ventricular wall.

Parameters

time_fac: float

Relative contraction duration

tau_av: float

AV delay

dtau_av: float

Extra AV delay

law_tau_av: int

Tells which law is used to set tau_av at the start of each beat. If law_tau_av == 0, no law is used and tau_av can be set manually.

law_Ra2La: int

Tells which atrial delay law is used. If law_Ra2La == 0, no law is used.

law_ta: int

Tells which atrial activation duration law is used. If law_ta == 0, no law is used.

law_tv: int

Tells which ventricular activation duration law is used. If law_Ra2La == 0, no law is used.

c_tau_av0: float

Constant used to calculate tau_av depending on the used law.

c_tau_av1

Constant used to calculate tau_av depending on the used law.

The Timings module handles timings of a heart consisting of two Chamber (atria) and one TriSeg (ventricles) objects. Patch objects within these walls can have additional delays which will be relative to the delays set by this module. The module scales activation duration as well as contraction and relaxation constants. This module is also explained in this tutorial.
