Abstract
This article summarizes the basic principles of action potential models, reviews the development of cellular models of normal and diseased cells, and discusses some important contributions of computer simulations to the understanding of arrhythmia generation in heart-cell networks. The article should enable a better understanding of arrhythmias and heart disease
