Other topics covered include: signaling and repair strategies, cell and gene therapy for the treatment of postmyocardial infarction, signaling, vascularization methods in engineering embryonic cardiac tissue, and molecular methods to improve survival of human embryonic stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes; developmental and evolutional cardiology; novel strategies for treatment of atrial fibrillation and channel molecular physiology in remodeling and hypertrophy; multiscale modeling for metabolism and flows, including force development, mechanics of cardiac contraction, and ATP supply and demand aspects; aging, interactions, and interference aspects include fibroblast-myocyte-capillary communications, nonuniformities in contraction, calcium channels as oxygen sensors, and epigenetics of heart failure; and macroscale phenomena and clinical aspects, including various clinical aspects of modern cardiology such as navigation methods for cardiac interventions and control of cardiac function by changes in energetic demand.
