The V-Heart network includes practically all the Spanish groups that investigate\u00a0the computational modeling of the heart. In the network we can find specialized\u00a0groups in the physiological modeling of electrical activity, from the cellular level\u00a0to the level of the human body. In addition, the network consists of groups\u00a0specialized in modeling the mechanical activity and specialized groups in\u00a0interpreting signals at different levels. It also consists of experts in numerical\u00a0methods that will facilitate both the development of the models and the\u00a0implementation of software that allows simulations to be carried out in\u00a0acceptable times for medical professionals and high-performance computer\u00a0experts who make the environment available to the Alya network developed at\u00a0the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) for the implementation of cardiac\u00a0computer models.<\/p>\n

The V-Heart network is, therefore, a multidisciplinary network that will allow\u00a0dealing with the complex problems associated with the development of multi-scale models of the heart.<\/p>\n

It is important to emphasize that the development of these models, especially\u00a0those oriented to personalized medicine, will require the collaboration of\u00a0medical teams that can support the network with the provision of information\u00a0and the subsequent validation of these models. Members of the V-Heart\u00a0network have extensive experience in collaboration with medical teams.
\nThe network considers it essential to promote the involvement of private\u00a0companies both in the support of research and in the development of products\u00a0based on the research that will be carried out within the framework of the\u00a0network.<\/p>\n

The main characteristics of the groups that are members of the network are\u00a0briefly described below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>
