Cardiac excitation and propagation: what can we learn from 0D-2D models?
Author_Institution :
Dept. of Pediatrics, Emory Univ., Atlanta, GA, USA
Abstract :
We present an overview of work done on simulations of cardiac excitation and propagation with models of single cells as well as models of 1 or 2 dimensional propagation. The overview attempts to present several general principles which have been established by the correlation of these simulations studies with experimental work on cardiac excitation and propagation.
