Abstrakt:	We investigate the properties of static mechanical and dynamic electro‐mechanical models for the deformation of the human heart. Numerically this is realized by a staggered scheme for the coupled partial/ordinary differential equation (PDE‐ODE) system. First, we consider a static and purely mechanical benchmark configuration on a realistic geometry of the human ventricles. Using a penalty term for quasi‐incompressibility, we test different parameters and mesh sizes and observe that this approach is not sufficient for lowest order conforming finite elements. Then, we compare the approaches of active stress and active strain for cardiac muscle contraction. Finally, we compare in a coupled anatomically realistic electro‐mechanical model numerical Newmark damping with a visco‐elastic model using Rayleigh damping. Nonphysiological oscillations can be better mitigated using viscosity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
