A simple electro-mechanical model of the heart is derived to best fit available cardiac images. The model is based on anisotropic linear elasticity and, from the electrical point of view, on the finite-element discretisation of the FitzHugh-Nagumo electric wave-propagation model. Present simulations include static image segmentation. By including biological and physical a priori knowledge, more realistic 4D images segmentation of the cardiac motion are expected.
