Timings
Module summary
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.
