Multiscale Integration with Mechanobiologiy andMetabolism
Cardiac electrophysiology does not operate in isolation. Mechanical stretch, metabolic state, and inflammation all modulate electrical properties. Next-generation models will integrate electrophysiology with cardiac mechanics, coronary perfusion, and metabolic signaling. Such "physiome" models will capture the complex feedback loops that underlie arrhythmias in conditions like ischemia, heart failure, and diabetes. This holistic approach will improve both mechanistic understanding and therapeutic targeting.
