Modeling left ventricular dynamics using a switched system approach based on a modified atrioventricular piston unit

Patient-specific heart models have become increasingly powerful to improve diagnosis and predict therapeutic effects. Although great advances have been made to develop the three-dimensional finite element models [1,2], lumped-element models are important tools for characterizing the global function of heart and constructing multiscale models [3].
