Abstract :
The author describes a mathematical/computer model of a bundle of cardiac fibers, used to examine the effects of strong electrical shocks on the electrical activity of cardiac tissue. The model incorporates both the complex geometry of a bundle of cardiac fibers as well as the complex electrical dynamics of the cardiac membrane
