Welcome to the Python_single_ventricle wiki!

This is a repository for Python code that runs simulations of a single hemispherical ventricle pumping blood through a circulation mimicked by a network of compliances and resistances.

The basic technique was described by Kenneth B. Campbell et al. in Dynamic left ventricular elastance: a model for integrating cardiac muscle contraction into ventricular pressure-volume relationships. Note that Kenneth B. Campbell is not Kenneth S. Campbell from the University of Kentucky, who wrote the first version of this Python code. The similarity of the names is a coincidence.

This project relies heavily on the Python version of MyoSim which is available at this repository.
