(1) Two new mixed formulations, tailor-made for active stress and active strain coupling approaches, have been developed and used in conjunction with two different ionic models, namely Bueno-Orovio et al.

The Finite Element implementation of these formulations is shown in this paper, where a static condensation procedure is presented in order to yield an extremely competitive computational approach. (2) A comprehensive and rigorous study of different ionic models (i.e Bueno-Orovio and Ten Tusscher) and electromechanical activation couplings (i.e active strain and active stress) has been carried out.
