The cardiac system represents one of the most exciting challenges
to human ingenuity. Critical to our survival, it consists of a
tantalizing array of interacting phenomena, from ionic transport,
membrane channels and receptors through cellular metabolism, energy
production to fiber mechanics, microcirculation, electrical
activation to the global, clinically observed, function, which is
measured by pressure, volume, coronary flow, heart rate, shape
changes and responds to imposed loads and pharmaceutical
challenges. It is a complex interdisciplinary system requiring the
joint efforts of the life sciences, the exact sciences, engineering
and technology to understand and control the pathologies involved.
The Henry Goldberg Workshops were set up to address these
multivariable, multidisciplinary challenges. Briefly, our goals
are: To encourage international cooperation and foster
interdisciplinary interaction between scientists from the different
areas of cardiology; to relate microscale cellular phenomena to the
global, clinically manifested cardiac function; to relate
conceptual modeling and quantitative analysis to experimental and
clinical data; to gain an integrated view of the various
interacting parameters, identify missing links, catalyze new
questions, and lead to better understanding of the cardiac system.
The outstanding success of past workshops has encouraged their
continuation. The first Henry Goldberg Workshop, held in Haifa in
1984, introduced the concept of interaction between mechanics,
electrical activation, perfusion and metabolism, emphasizing
imaging in the clinical environment. The second Workshop, in 1985,
discussed the same parameters with a slant towards the control
aspects.
