In recent years there has been a growth in interest in studying the heart from the perspective of the physical sciences: mechanics, fluid flow, electromechanics. This volume is the result of a workshop held in July 1989 at the Institute for Nonlinear Sciences at the University of California at San Diego that brought together scientists and clinicians with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who shared an interest in the heart. The chapters were prepared by the invited speakers as didactic reviews of their subjects but also include the structure, mechanical properties, and function of the heart and the myocardium, electrical activity of the heart and myocardium, and mathematical models of heart function.

1 Structure and Function of the Diastolic Heart.- 2 Structural Considerations in Formulating Material Laws for the Myocardium.- 3 Toward a Stress Analysis in the Heart.- 4 Identification of the Time-Varying Properties of the Heart.- 5 Factors Affecting the Regional Mechanics of the Diastolic Heart.- 6 Finite Element Modeling of Ventricular Mechanics.- 7 Multidimensional Measurement of Regional Strains in the Intact Heart.- 8 Epicardial Deformation From Coronary Cinéangiograms.- 9 Functional Consequences of Regional Heterogeneity in the Left Ventricle.- 10 Mathematical Modeling of the Electrical Activity of Cardiac Cells.- 11 Mathematical Models of Pacemaker Tissue in the Heart.- 12 Low-Dimensional Dynamics in the Heart.- 13 Iteration of the Human Atrioventricular (AV) Nodal Recovery Curve Predicts Many Rhythms of AV Block.- 14 Ionic Basis of the Wenckebach Phenomenon.- 15 Parasystole and the Pacemaker Problem.- 16 Electrical Propagation in Distributed Cardiac Tissue.- 17 Wave Propagation in Myocardium.- 18 Cellular Automata Models of Cardiac Conduction.- 19 Estimating the Ventricular Fibrillation Threshold.- 20 Basic Mechanisms of Ventricular Defibrillation.- 21 Mechanically Induced Changes in Electrophysiology: Implications for Arrhythmia and Theory.- 22 Nonlinear Dynamics at the Bedside.- 23 A Clinical Perspective on Theory of Heart.
